Madeline M. Keaveney wrote an analysis of Margaret Edson's play “WIT “that I liked a lot because she pulled out a few things that I hadn’t picked up on. It’s very evident from the beginning that Vivian Bearing, the main character in “Wit” is very selective on her word choice and takes great pride in her use of the English language. After all she is a professor of English literature, specializing in seventeenth–century poetry.
Madeline points out how the characters address each other though out the play. Dr. Kelekian first refers to Vivian as Miss, even when he knows she is a professor and has even status with him. After they have a chance to converse and bond he does eventually address her correctly be referring to her as Dr. Bearing.
