Harper Amaty Pitt

Harper Pitt is Joseph (Joe) Pitt's wife. She is heavily addicted to valium which frequently makes her hallucinate. She has agoraphobia, and creates an imaginary friend to avoid bad situations. During one of her hallucinations, she learns that her husband (Joe) is a homosexual. She then learns to manage these weaknesses she has and reshapes her life by moving to San Francisco. Though she appears as a weak character in the beginning of the play, she ends the play as a changed person. According to Bloom, Kushner’s women are stronger than the men (with the exception of Roy Cohn), especially Harper (299).
