Artist as a scapegoat 

       Over time there has been a line between morals and ethics. These things have been a principle and have been followed and when they are not followed or broken there are always consequences. In "The Shape of things"  there is a reference of ancient biblical history. This is by sin consuming Eve and making her eat the apple and then making Adam eat the apple. A similar thing happened in "The Shape of things" were Evelyn slept with Adam and they both cheated on their girlfriend or fiancee.

   If I had to chose one person out of these four to pick as the most unethical would be Evelyn. I would chose her because the moment they introduced her into the play she was already vandalizing and breaking some rule. Just like how in the bible eve did not want to listen to Adam and she wanted to eat the apple, Evelyn did not want to leave the museum and she wanted to spray paint the statue. She is the clear cut person who is the most unethical.

  

   Another person that would be considered unethical is Adam. I would say Adam because he slept with Jenny. But after he slept with her he lied to Evelyn and said all they did was kiss. Jenny could also be another person who is unethical. This is because she sleeps with Adam. But, The difference between Adam and Jenny is that Jenny is engaged to Philip.

   At the end the person who is the most unethical would be Evelyn. I chose her because she is the one that is made to look like the villain in the play. All the way from the beginning the play writer makes her seem like the villain. He does this buy making her break several rules in the first scene when they were in the museum. He makes her seem this way from the beginning to paint a picture in our heads so that we will allways think that Evelyn is the villain and Adam is not. I personally chose Evelyn because if it werent for her actions adam would have never done what he did.
