In The Shape of Things, morals play a very important role in the plot. Each character has their own set of moral codes that they follow, making conflict inevitable. Evelyn is arguably the most lacking in morals, looking at the way she lied to and manipulated those who she calls her friends. Evelyn is not the only one in the play who demonstrates a lack of morals.

Evelyn constantly lied about who she was, and she manipulated her boyfriend Adam in order to get her way. She even went as far as telling Adam to choose between her and his friends. She constantly told Adam to change himself for her, and wouldn't take no for an answer. At one point, she even kissed one of Adams friends.

Adam isn't innocent either however. He would listen to Evelyn when she wanted him to change, even though it went against his own wishes, and lied to his friends about why. He also had an affair.

In the end, I believe Adam could be described as the most lacking in morals. While Evelyn was more manipulative, Adams actions showed a stronger lack in morals. Anybody who cheats on his girlfriend but then goes on to choose her over his own friends has serious moral issues.
