The Man in a Case Lackluster Lover In Wendy Wasserstein¡¦s play, ¡§The Man in a Case,¡¨ Varinka is a woman who is defined by her free spirit and love for Byelinkov. She never planned to marry before she met him as no one wanted her like Byelinkov does: ¡§It was just that no man ever looked at me and saw a wife¡¨ (695). Her outgoing, outlandish behavior is what makes her who she is, but ultimately costs her Byelinkov as she continuously acts out foolishly, doesn¡¦t really show respect towards Byelinkov¡¦s thoughts and beliefs and never truly believes herself to be a suitable wife. Good! Varinka is a very happy, outgoing woman who pretty much does as she wants. She doesn¡¦t care about the so called ¡§expectable¡¨ lady like behavior that she is supposed to abide by, which ultimately causes a conflict between her and Byelinkov. After the two lovers have had a wonderful afternoon in the garden, Varinka explains that she had road her bicycle across town to see Byelinkov: ¡§You rode to my house by bicycle! Did anyone see you!¡¨ (695). The fact is that in there village women do not do such things as ride bicycles, especially the future bride of the town man, case, byelinkov, varinka, life, 695, wife, never, out, one, love, fact, acts, tea, just, husband, happy, explains, doesn¡¦t, byelinkov¡¦s, woman, very, town, things, should, say, saw, reputation, met, married, make, laughed, great, future, everyone, ever, curtains
