Petrusso Critique

In this essay Petrusso discusses how Fiddler on the Roof challenges the Jewish traditions and way of life. He discusses how Tevye claims to follow the traditions, but continuously breaks them through out the book, but he doesn't do this without first putting up an arguement. Golde on the other hand, does not. Petrusso explains how Tevye's daughters are the reason for every tradition break in the book. Perchik is also a big influence. These changes break the whole community by the end of the book.
