Read Sholem Asch’s The God of Vengeance. How does the portrayal of Rifkele and Manke’s relationship in the original play differ from its depiction in Indecent? How are these changes significant?

Indecent implicitly argues that The God of Vengeance is not an antisemitic text. Do you agree? Why or why not?

Compare and contrast Indecent with another text with similar themes. Some options could include Angels in America by Tony Kushner, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard, or The Zone of Interest (2023).
