# The Wasp - Title Page Analysis This is a title page for "The Wasp," a one-act play by Essex Dane, published by Walter H. Baker Co. of Boston. The page itself contains no cartoon or satirical content—it is simply the cover/title page of what appears to be a published theatrical script. "The Wasp" likely refers to the actual insect, though without seeing the play's contents, I cannot determine whether this is literal (the insect as a character) or metaphorical (using "wasp" to represent something or someone, possibly a satirical human character). The play's satirical intent would become clear only from reading the actual script that follows this page.
