On the other hand, her willingness to break the law to collect evidence for the case she is working on indicates consequentialist views. Her language similarly reflects this world view. She uses irresponsible language to cut through extended protocols of communication which she consider to be unpragmatic. However, Erin repeatedly avoids use of such language when she is in emotional situations where desires to present herself as a caring and kind person as opposed to dominant and aggressive. This…

an ‘Arab book’ in the language of the other.” ( Al-Maleh 238) Diya Abdo, while investigating “double agence” in Faqir’s Pillars of Salt , discusses the hybridity of the language Faqir uses to sustain a “transcultural/translinguistic position” (A-Maleh 238).

is embedded in her abnormal life as well as her extraordinary style. Amongst all her plays, “4:48 Psychosis” is the best emblem of Kane’s life, death, and style.
