The document discusses how Eliza fears the man she believes is a police detective in Act 1 of the play, as she was nervous about taking his money. It then draws parallels to real life, where oppressive governments, fear of the military due to misinterpretation, states with harsh laws like the United Arab Emirates, and nations with militarized governments and few civil rights can instill fear in people.
