Q. 1
Rita wants to study because she is willing to learn in itself and because she wants to discover herself.
Q.2
She wants a better way of living her life. Her everyday routinarious life, working at the hairdresser, talking non relevant things with women who just feel with a haircut they'll be different and sharing her love life with an ignorant husband does not satisfy her.

What do you mean by "learn in itself", Silvia? And why take a university course in Literatute to discover oneself? Shouldn't Rita see a therapist itself?
And on what grounds can you tell Rita's husband is "ignorant"? Would you say "Rita" is different or quite the same?
Let's keep thinking together!
Fondly,

I mean the fact of learning and discovering a different world, not just the one she lives in. I think she's chosen the course because she compares herself with well read people and she might wish to be like them.
By ignotant I mean a person who does not care about anything but just a routinarious life and who does not like Rita's interest in learning as if learning would not lead her anywhere. He cannot see there's something else in life than working and drinking in pubs.
Mmmmm...
So now I'd like to ask you:
1. What is it that Rita likes about well-read people?
2. When we say somebody is "well-read", whose criteria are we following?
3. Through whose eyes are you seeing Rita's husband?
CHALLENGE: can you look up "ignorant" in a couple of dictionaries and discuss the implications of the entries you collect in a new entry here?
Apòlogies for being so full of questions, I can't help it! :-P
Cheers,
Gladys
1. I think she loves the fact they are different, they have a different life, more exciting she might think....
2. Well- read acording to academic knowledge.
3. I do not understand...
IGNORANT:1. Lacking knowledge, education or consciousness of sth one ought to know about.Eg.: I'm rather ignorant about computers.
2. rude or impolite because of lack of social training.
3. caused by or showing ignorance Eg.: Ignorant ideas
I think the second entry describes Rita's husband's ignorance. He is not socially trained and does not care aout it because he is satisfiend with his life, which is not Rita's case. She wants and needs this change she is looking for. A challenge she is ready to take.
When I said "Through whose eyes are you seeing Rita's husband?", I meant: you call him "ignorant", what evidence do you have he is so? Do you ever hear his voice in the play? How can you make sure this is not just Rita's impression?
Why do we teachers tend to "trust" Rita's description of her husband without having met him? Good point to speculate about! ;-)
Love,
Gladys
