How is Madje’s line, “Teach me. Take me. I want to taste you” significant?

This line is spoken by Madje towards her husband early on in the play. It later is said by one of the women in an embrace. Sholem has taken the words of his wife and used them as dialogue in the play. These words are very sentimental for him, and he is crushed when the men at the salon later are appalled by this type of language between the two female characters in the play.
