Description Supposing Books The Little Foxes

The century’s turning, the world is open. Open for people like you and me. Ready for us, waiting for us. After all this is just the beginning. There are hundreds of Hubbards sitting in rooms like this throughout the country. All their names aren’t Hubbard, but they are all Hubbards and they will own this country someday.

—The Little Foxes, or Turn of the Century Decaying Southern Aristocrats are Butt Hurt About Slavery Ending, Are Greedy and Generally The Worst.

Lillian Hellman wrote the words above in 1939, and it’s thoroughly disheartening how prescient they were. The Hubbard siblings want to invest in a cotton mill. Except their sister Regina’s husband, convalescing in Baltimore, doesn’t reply to their many letters asking him to provide a third of the seed money. From a slow and overly talky act one, the next two acts spin out a tale of avarice and betrayal.

Tallulah Bankhead played Regina on stage, Bette Davis in the film version. Not everyone agrees, but I loved Bette in this movie:

In 1946, Hellman wrote a prequel to this story, Another Part of the Forest.

Judge Appertaining To Books The Little Foxes

Review for in-class reading:What has Regina won and what did she lose? The play Little Foxes by Lillian Helman focuses on the corruption of people as a result of greed. Regina is a wife of Horace Giddens, a banker suffering from heart problems, but also a sister of two very well-off brothers working in the cotton industry. In order to get the money they have used and tricked people under the pretence of providing for the family. But the relationships between the siblings themselves are not the

This play wasn't what I was looking for when I began reading, and holy crap did it draw me in. I devoured it! Ms. Hellman establishes from basically each character's literal first sentence who they are and what they're likeyou just don't believe the Hubbards could such assholes until late into Act II, when they've gotten up a little speed.DEPRESSING HOW RELEVANT THIS PLAY FEELS TO TODAY

I honestly thought this play was going to be about a middle-aged woman taking care of a bunch of children. And I guess it kind of is, in a way. Instead, its about a turn of the 20th century Southern family squabbling over inheritance, business interests, and their own truly awful natures.In the movie version, which I have not seen, Bette Davis plays the lead role of the sister who sort of tries to hold it all together. The plot involves the family yelling at each other trying to work through

3 1/2 stars

I was not the biggest fan of this play. Nothing really happened until the last few pages. Maybe it would be better to see live (as most theatre is) but the story wasnt intriguing. I wasnt interested in any of the characters, and could barely keep track of them. The whole story was about money. It was unfeminist (I mean Regina kills someone at the end? Good job making the women the villains), and a little bit racist. Maybe it was of the time, but there are two specific black characters and they

A powerful play about old southern families and the imposition of modern ... well modern for the time it was written... sensibilities. The rigidness of the old can't withstand the vigor of youth. Brilliantly written... the Bette Davis version of the movies is the best I've seen.

Regina is evil- dugh. The brothers are assholes. Glad alexandra is getting out with Addie. Poor Horrace was a good man. What does Addie mean when she says that there are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it? I thought she meant that 'this is a dog eat dog kind of world' but i think that's wrong. Maybe Omission and Commission? They got rich from screwing a situation and everyone involved? "sometimes i think it aint right to stand and watch them do it... so that someone should
