Interpretation: Beautiful Burnout

I think that some of the language that some of the characters speak could tell us about their background or just their life in general. For example, I think we can tell that life for Dina is very difficult when she does her monologue. In  her monologue, Dina uses an awful lot of swear words in showing her frustration to the audience about being the only female boxer out of all of them. She is frustrated about being the only female because she feels that Bobby won’t give her a chance at trying to turn professional because he is worried that she will get hurt. Dina shows in her monologue and also in other parts of the play that she is a lot tougher than Bobby makes her out to be, which I think is what makes her even more annoyed at him, because I think that in a way she thinks that Bobby is implying that she isn’t strong enough to be professional which is why he decides not to include her along with the other lads to think of turning professional by saying “I just don’t want to see you hurt”.
