The moral of "Eleemosynary" can be perceived in many ways.
"I think that the moral of the play is to fight for what you believe in, no matter what anyone thinks," Amr said.
Dorothea was eccentric and spent her life studying concepts that most did not care about, but she did not let that stop her from doing what she loved.
Vayner said "Eleemosynary" was about being independent.
"It's about being something other than what your parents want you to be," Vayner said.
Echo can see this trait in Dorothea and she loves her for it. Dorothea is like Echo's mother since the majority of her life Echo's real mother was not there.
"Dorothea has inspired her to be herself and to live life for herself and not for anyone else. Echo is no doubt made fun of at school for being such a smarty pants and using big words, but Echo eventually decides to hold her head high and to just be herself," Amr said.
Dorothea captured the essence of the play, saying, "We all try to be perfect just what the next one needs and we never come close."
