Unequal power b/w sexes: inequality has many interrelated dimensions, including class, sex, and race, and different contexts highlight different conditions of power and exploitation. At first, the theme is that class differences are important. As the tragedy unfolds a different theme emerges. Under some circumstances, class differences can be erased. Therefore it can be an optimistic tale that holds out hope for society in which class differences no longer matter ( american dream ) Idea that money is power is a perennial theme everything has a price .
