about Act 2 scenes 2 & 3

As we have been discussing so far, there is a huge difference between being educated and being wise. On one hand being educated (used as synonym of well-read) does not necessarily means being wise. So as to be wise, somebody needs to be not only well-read (not necessarily) but also he/she should be respectful, humble and generous. If we see it this way, we are presented in these scenes with a Rita that is not wise at all. She has been reading a lot but she is now trying to pretend that she has a different voice and that she doe not need Frank. To me, Rita considers that the new "knowledge" she has makes her self sufficient and she does not take into account several things she leaving aside such as originality, uniqueness and personality. She does not realize that she is loosing what Franks considered "her real self". For instance, almost at the end of scene 3 she told Frank that he didn't need to hold her hand as much as she could", isn't she quite arrogant?
As regards Frank's feelings towards this new Rita, we can say that he is quite disappointed from the very beginning. For example, as soon as she arrived talking with a different voice, he states that it is wrong! He really wants her to be herself. This new Rita, who has changed her opinion towards college students and whose opinions are now the ones she got from other authors, is not the one that Frank likes, he wants her to be spontaneous and natural. By the end of these scenes we come to learn that he hopes that Rita's changes are for her own good.
