Alifa Rifaat's short story "Another Evening at the Club" paints a clear picture of the powerless, inferior role of women in Egyptian society: the main character Samia is trapped in an arranged marriage in which she is repeatedly forced into betraying her own values and beliefs.
For example, when Bey, her husband, says to Samia "Tell people you're from the well-known Barakat family and that your father was a judge," she is obliged to lie about her own family's social status, in spite of how she was raised to be an honest person, just for the sake of making Bey look more important in the public eye.
In the end, Bey forces Samia into the ultimate act of dishonesty: protecting a lie that is causing their servant to be tortured, only to avoid his husband's embarrassment, when he says "By now the whole town knows the servant stole the ring—or would you like me to tell everyone: 'Look,folks, the fact is that the wife got a bit tiddly on a couple of sips of beer and the ring took off on its own and hid itself behind the dressing-table."

What is the subject and compound predicate?
In grammar, the subject can be defined as the word or phrase that describes the noun, pronouns, as well as noun phrases that occur before the verb in the sentences. It also describes the position in a sentence as well as controls the phrase in the sentences. And the verb is the action in the sentence, or it links the sentence through information.
Similarly, compound predicates always share the same subject, provided two or more verbs occur in the sentence. It is joined by a conjunction in a sentence like and, neither, nor, either, or, etc. In the given statement, the word audience defines the subject whereas the words like drama and third define the compound predicates.
