Act 1 Scene 7 - Cabaret Script/ Goodbye to Berlin

I have chosen my historical character Fraulein Kost from the Cabaret Script from Act One, Scene Seven.  I have chosen this scene because I feel sorry for Fraulein Kost, it is extremely sad that women in this time had to use prostitution to keep a roof over their head.  I also feel Fraulein Schneider doesn't understand what it is like to struggle in an economic crisis, because she was brought up in a middle class family who were reasonably wealthy.


Fraulein Kost claims the second sailor was her brother, however Fraulein Schneider seems to think differently, and she lets it slide as Fraulein Kost threatens to leave Schneider's home.  Schneider agrees for her to stay as long as she doesn't see the Sailors coming to and from her home because she doesn't like the idea of prostitution.

The scene from Goodbye to Berlin as well and I chose the scene where Fraulein Kost is just meeting one of her customers on the stairs and is in complete denial that she is a prostitute.  I think she acts this way in front of Herr Issyvoo to make her look sophisticated.
