Mary is a pretty classic character – the pushy maid. Let's see what are some examples? Rosie from The Jetsons, Florence from The Jeffersons, and, let us not forget, Alice from The Brady Bunch. This character type actually goes even further back – check out Dorine in Moliere's 1664 comedy Tartuffe, if you don't believe us. The "clever servant" was also a stock character in the Commedia dell' Arte, an improvisational form of theatre from the Italian Renaissance. The earliest examples of this character type actually appear in Greek and Roman comedies. So, yeah, Ionesco's Mary the Maid is in some pretty old school company.
