"I hate domestics. I hate this mean and vile race. Domestics do not belong to humanity. They are like vapors that waft through our rooms and corridors, that enter us through our mouths, that eat away at us. You make me sick! I know they must exist. Just like there have to be gravediggers, sewer workers and policemen. That's what keeps this whole society from stinking." (from "The Maids" by Jean Genet, Claire in the role of the gracious woman)
The two sisters Claire and Solange are the maids of the madam. In her absence, they play a humiliating game of domination and servitude: one of them takes on the role of the "gracious lady", the other plays her servant. They want to take revenge on their mistress for her humiliations, but their plans fail. In the end, they only manage to get revenge in a game: Claire, as the "gracious woman", allows her sister to give her the poisoned lime blossom tea.
