| I totally disagree with you. The commerce of any dramatic piece is conflict and Funny Girl has a continual amount of conflict for the Fanny character. In the very opening scene she is not chosen for a part based on her looks. She is able to get herself hired but then she screws it up...which leads to her being noticed...so she keeps her job. With a raise. Her mother's friends sing an entire song about how she's never going to make it. She marries Nicky Arnstein but their marriage quickly turns sour. He becomes an absent husband and ultimately gets arrested and goes to jail. It is ALL adversity for her. and yes, he does pick herself up, constantly. |
