Abstract:
In 1931, Paul Green was asked to change the ending of his play by the directors. The old ending involved the murder of one white former sharecropper by two black sharecroppers after she married the wealthy landowner, while the new ending would spare her life to create a positive image of rising above the class she was born into. This change was originally thought to have been made to cater to the ideology that one can rise about their rank to attain fortune. However, Vines argues that the original ending depicted the real tensions between the white and black populations of the South after reconstruction, and the new ending ignores these issues.
