In the world of theatre, a place which tends to be reserved for liberal expression and socially progressive content, Bekah Brunstetter’s The Cake appears to be somewhat of an anomaly. This is not to say that the play condemns or lacks representation of the social matters which are so commonly highlighted in contemporary theatre. In fact, The Cake very thoroughly explores the unceasing debate surrounding the topic of marriage equality. However, Brunstetter’s thoughtful characterization forces audiences to consider a perspective that is rarely supported, or even acknowledged, on the stage.

She talks about how she regrets sharing tender moments with her beau as he “sipped a cappuccino at [their] local coffee shop” and letting her followers catch a glimpse of “[his] hands dripping honey on the manchego cheese.” She carefully crafted her words to create an air of mystery and urban flair, but only succeeded in making herself look pretentious and self centered. One of her readers decided to tactfully remind her in the comments section, “Did you really think your readers wanted to know about your personal life at all?” She uses a more emotionally loaded fallacy, bandwagon appeal, to force her audience into seeing her side. She carefully put in little quips like how posting about her significant other would make her look like a “vapid girlfriend” heading straight off into “relationship land” which she eloquently described as “. . .an

Scout was beginning to put away her tomboyish acts and started acting like a young lady, "She seemed glad to see me when I appeared in the kitchen, and by watching her I began to think there was some skill involved in being a girl".
