While the play is not considered to have great literary merit, it is discussed for its complex mix of political agendas, which offer insight into its period of early US history. It expresses an early feminism, desires for American imperialism in the Islamic world, and uses antisemitism to excuse the failings of capitalism."@en . . . . . .
