In the play The Shape Of Things, morals are really brought out to be questioned between all the characters, but specifically about one, Evelyn. Everybody in the play seems to have their own idea about what morals really are, based on the way they act. You can notice it most in Evelyn because from the very beginning of the play you can see that she is manipulative and she uses people for her own benefit.

One way you can really see that she is the one that has done the most wrong in the play is when she manipulates Adam. She uses him for her art project, which she announced to everybody at the very end of the play. She made Adam change himself for her (she did it by simply making suggestions) Adam really liked her so he'd do anything that she talked about, she played with his feelings. She went as far as to make Adam choose between their relationship or his friendship with his friends, Phil and Jenny. She started a lot of commotion throughout they play, she kissed Phil, she influenced Adam to do crazy things, and she lied about who she was.

Adam makes a big mistake as well, he changes everything because he decided to do it throughout the play, but he only does it because they're suggestions that come from Evelyn, even if he didn't really agree with the changes he was making. He also became a liar, started lying to all his friends when they'd ask about his changes, why he did them, how he did them, because he'd do things he never wanted to do before meeting Evelyn. Now that Adam was cute, he would flirt with other girls, had an affair with one of his Phil's fiance and was about to end the friendship between all them because of Evelyn.

I think that everybody in this play is equally wrong, it all honestly depends on how you view things, you may think that Evelyn did more wrong than Adam, but I don't think its true. They both gained something from out of their relationship, like using each other. Evelyn used Adam for her art project and Adam used Evelyn to be better, to look better, to feel better. He built his self esteem up because of her, opened his eyes to doing things different from the ones he was used to. In the play Phil and Jenny do wrong as well, you just can't see it that much because the play isn't necessarily based on them. Jenny being Phil's fiance still kissed Adam, she did wrong as well, she didn't show to have many morals. Everything is just based on  how you view things, but everybody in a way made a morally wrong decision.
