Doubt

As I sit in my room in my new house rockin' to some Coldplay, I began wondering if in the play "Doubt", if the Sister James wasn't involved, would the plot turn out any different. She represents both literaly the easily swayed people in life as well as the pacifists in life. Maybe its me, but I felt that if she hadn't been involved, Father Flynn-- well, for one thing, the "problem" would never have arisen in the first place since it was Sister James who brought up the situation to Sister Aloysius. But say that Sister Alyosius some how saw what happened, I think Father Flynn's side would be more substantial since it was Sister Aloysius who planted the seeds of havoc in Sister James' head. It appears to me that Sister James was the catalyst/weapon that Sister Aloysius was waiting for to come along to aid her in her tyrant rule over a school of children.
