"Glen" The Sex Kitten

If you weren't in class today while we were discussing Pygmalion here's something to chew on.
You probably recall that there is a character in the story named Gwen. The husband in this story has an affair with Gwen and eventually they ended up married. Gwen has a speech impediment and basically replaces all the "L"s with "W"s. If you look at the original paper that was written, the name of Gwen's character was Fritzie. Is there a reason for the change in name but not the change in speech impediment? Is Gwen really supposed to be Glen?

Discuss.

  2. Although I do find this humorous and understand why you think this- but are there any other clues in the story that indicate the main character is gay?

    I really don't have any other evidence that he might be gay... I was wondering if ya'll found anything else.

  5. I do like this it is very funny!! but I do agree with Sarah I don't remember anything that would have led you to believe the main character is gay. It does make you think, and brings a whole new twist to the story.
