Rita's cultural horizons are expanding and she proposes Frank a visit to an art gallery. Rita had gone to the theatre to see "Macbeth" by Shakespeare. Then, she went to Frank's studio to tell him about the play but she went there other day , not the day of her lessons. She considered "Macbeth" a fantastic play and the story a dead exciting one. What is more, she wants to do an essay on it.However, she only can use these words from the play in an essay as a quotation if she wants to develop the idea of the play.Because the words are specifically for this play.
I think that willy Russell offers Rita and Frank an apple and a can of soft drink as two symbols. The apple as a symbol of sin when refering to Adan and Eva. And the soft drink in order to soften up their feelings

Wow! How many ideas, Romina! Could you pls enlarge your ideas on the interpretation of the symbols, so that I can follow? Who is about to sin? Whose feelings need to be softened?
I find your interpretations so intriguing... but can't really make sure I get your point... maybe it's just 'coz it's past my bedtime!
:-P

I think that the author of this play wants to represent an apple as symbol of desire and sin refering to Adan and Eva. In some way they are about to sin, because there is another kind of relationship between them at this point of the play.And the drink would soften their own desires and the feelings which are appearing inside them.
So is it a sin for a teacher and their learner to go "beyond" their academic relationship, Romina? :-o!!!
Do you always tend to associate "feeling" with "sinning"? Or perhaps I'm misreading between your lines???
Can't wait to hear more from you!
Fondly,
Gladys
