The main focus of the research paper is on the questions- What are the grounds for deciding that the moves of the characters in a play are legitimate or illegitimate and is it possible to interpret their behavior in the light of the ideas, by Leotard and Alessandro Giovannelli. The moves of the chief characters, Gaston and Mrs. Smith appear to be legitimate in the postmodern environment, where people can neither expected to be serious about sophistications of specified traditional behaviour nor having ‘respect’ towards the ‘differences and specificities’ of their culture. In the Lyotard’s opinion this a practice of the ‘irreverence towards established ways of behaving, an installation of ‘unexpected’ ‘cultural’ interrogations about the iconic traditional patterns of behaviour. According to M H Abrams puts, “In drama, the narrative is not told but evolves by means of the direct presentation on stage of the actions and speeches of the characters.” Therefore according to Giovannelli’s sense, work of art can be judged according to mode of its production, their effect on the opponents and their mode of perception. Therefore even common resistances, like that of children refusing to go to schools, frustrations of people, like Juliette, and tricks of clever minds, like that of Gaston originating in the day today routine life due to moves, attitudes, and conducts, contrary to the accepted ethical norms might be evaluated or judged in terms of legitimacy. To conclude the moves of the characters are legitimate, even they are in contrast to the accepted or prescribed legitimate patterns.
