The Dust in Your Place: Claire

The Dust in your place
Moral-Philosophical Approach (A Literary Analysis) by: Brix Aguason
In the One-Act play script of “The Dust In Your Place” there are a lot of differences in each of the characters beliefs.
Claire, the comic strip artist must tell her writer Rick what’s plaguing his relationships with other girl, even if it may
be at the cost of their own friendship. In which where Claire believes in what is morally right or wrong and Rick
believes in his own beliefs on anything even if it is morally wrong. I have based the beliefs of society in Quora.com.
First, we must understand the definition of Moral and Philosophy. So that we can understand the moral or
philosophy of each characters.
Philosophy refers to the
most basic beliefs, concepts,
and attitudes of an
individual or group.
Moral refers to what
societies sanction as right
and acceptable.
And now we must know each other’s descriptions, beliefs, and especially their friendship.
Rick is the writer and Claire is the illustrator and editor. They have known
each other for about 8 years and have been working on “Frank Fuhrer” for
about 3 years. They have dated one time but nothing bloomed.
Claire
Claire is a morally-based person. Her
beliefs are based on what the society
thinks on what is right or wrong. She
opposes the philosophy of Rick.
Claire believes that the reason for the

breakups of Rick’s ex-girlfriends is
because his exes thinks that there is
something intimate between them.
And because of that they tend to get
jealous between them leading to
fights.
Haven’t dated anyone because of the

friendship between her and Rick and
how long they have been friends.

Rick believes on himself. Unlike Claire, he based his decision on what he think is right and doesn’t need the opinion of
other people and society.

In conclusion, Claire and Rick have different beliefs on their action and thinking. Claire based her decisions and
opinions to what the society thinks. And Rick however thinks in his own philosophy. He doesn’t base it on what the
society thinks. Both are good examples for the difference of moral and philosophy.
