The source of the main data is the text of the drama itself. The supporting data are collected through a librarian research. The data intrinsic and extrinsic data are analyzed and the results are presented descriptively. The findings show that the economic crisis experienced by the Southerners that are symbolized by the characters of ‘The Little Foxes’ was caused by the civil war, the fall of the aristocracy, the ambition of the New Southerners and the influence of the North..

Alexandra is the symbol of an alternative solution. Key words: problems, economic downfall, awakening spirit.
