Dull Gret:
In Act 1 Scene 1; Dull Gret was one of Marlene’s friends, who all ate at restaurant. They were all having dinner, Celebrating Marlene’s promotion. Dull Gret ate rudely and stold bottles and plates when no one is looking, putting them in her large apron. Throughout the dinner she spoke very little. She would say little remarks like “Bastard" and "Big cock". Her silence in the play added a sense of suspense up to the point where she recounts the tale of her invasion.Caryl Churchill based this character on the subject of the Painting "Dulle Griet" by Pieter Breughel, in which a woman wearing an apron and armed with tools of male aggression - armor, helmet, and sword - leads a mob of women into Hell, fighting the devils and filling her basket with gold cups.
