Beauty: Wish and Carla

This funny witty story truelove by Jane Martin is more or less two girls who argue about the facets each one has. Carla is the definition of beauty, and Beth whatever who is the inverse carries something Carla wishes she had brains, personality, and a college degree. The play relies mostly on wit and wordplay with and two characters and a genie lamp. Both Carla and Bethany envy one some other wishing they had each others bearings or persona.When Bethany has the power to change over what she has and get what she has always wanted the writer uses Carla to show that Bethany will be disappointed with the set of dialogue they use back and forth. Carla is clearly not happy with herself and her insecurities meanwhile so is Bethany, discovering that everyone has different problems no matter what they look like. Everyone is envious of someone for something not realizing they ware problems they wont understand.Because Beauty is a play, Martin introduces the characters through dialogue. The first character, Carla, is first seen talking on the think with a random suitor that she met at a bar and she cannot be to remember. This is evidence that Carla has some type of beauty that attracts male attention, even without any actual interaction. Later in the play, Carla references the fact that she has a modeling clash with Ralph Lauren, reiterating the fact that she is physically beautiful.The second character, Bethany, is Carlas friend, and obviously a levelheaded friend because she does not mind interrupting Carla on the phone regardless of how many times Carla asks her to be quiet. Bethany has a demanding job as a overt accountant, and decides to take a break to go to the beach. While there, she finds a lamp with a magic genie inside. The magic genie grants Bethany three wishes, three chances to have something she would not normally get in her life. Martin uses the genie to unmask Bethanys hidden desires and discontent in her life.
