She uses a lot of slang and swearing and seems coarse and unlikely to make a progress because of her vocabulary. She uses words like "bleedin'", "sod" and "pissed" and uses expressions like "get on my tits" instead of simply saying "irritate me". She always goes directly o the point without hesitating. An example of this is when she first enters Frank's office and starts talking about the painting on the wall: "Look at those tits… I mean when they painted it do you think it was to turn people on?" This shows how talkative she is even when she barely knows the person. She also brings forth her sharp wit in many occasions.
Her educational development is very slow at first and she has no self confidence. She thinks that she can learn "everything" from Frank.

Her clothing and hair also changes when she leaves Denny. We could say that this is a liberating act, which enhances her independence and self-will. After summer school she builds up confidence and even starts to challenge Frank's opinions and says: "I don't have to agree with everything you say". This clearly contrasts with the beginning where she thought Frank knew "everything". During the course of the play Rita is constantly using others as a model to follow, which is why she changed her name from Susan to Rita ( after Rita Mae Brown) on the first place. At one point she also changes her accent to sound more "sophisticated". These are clear signs of her lack of self confidence. By the end of the play she discovers herself truly and even considers doing what was trapping her before. These were things like having a baby or going to her mother's.
Overall, we can say that Rita makes a drastic change in all the aspects mentioned above during the course of the play. In the end we can see a totally different Rita who has achieved her goal and
