Žene Krležine su prave lutke koje niti upravljaju svojim nagonima niti imaju sposobnost logičkog ili kritičkog rasuđivanja. Muškarci su ipak omađijani njihovim čarima jer drugačije ne znaju.

Od svih dijelova trilogije, ovaj mi se čini više kao spin-off nego nastavak kontinuiteta u svijetu obitelji Glembaj. Radnja je kratka i jednostavna, ali likovi, iako prikladno predstavljeni, ne odaju dovoljno draži, da bi se investiralo u njih (više su kao ulica kroz koju prođeš zato što moraš, nego ulica koju prolaziš jer joj se diviš). Naravno, njihovi odnosi, ekspresionistički dojam kroz umjetnost i nadiruća opasnost, kao posljedica tajni, ne čine ovo nezanimljivim djelom, i to je ono što mi se najviše dopada kod ovog naslova, za pročitati, ali ne baš i za nešto više od toga. Pritom uzimam u obzir kako sam ovu dramu čitao po jedan čin svaki dan, kako je bio slučaj i sa prijašnjim djelima. Svakako bi bila preporuka uzeti ga kao dio kolekcije, koja obuhvaća trilogiju o Glembajevima, što sam i učinio (u protivnom bih se razočarao, imajući iskustva sa nekim naslovima, bez obzira na simboličnu cijenu).

Out of all parts of the trilogy, this one looks like a spin-off rather than the continuation in the world of the family Glembay. The plot is short and simple, but the characters, although appropriately presented, don't show enough of the charm, to be invested in them (they are more like the street that you cross by because of need, rather than stop by to admire it). Of course, their relationships, expressionist feeling through art and incoming danger, as a result of secrets, don't make this an uninteresting work, and that's what I like the most about this title to read, but not quite anything more than that. I'm giving into account that I was reading this play one act per day, as was the case with other work. It would definitely be a recommendation to get it as a part of collection, which contains a trilogy of Glembay, what I did (otherwise I would have been disappointed, giving my experience with some titles, no matter the symbolic price).
