Assignment 1c

I thought that 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' was a play with a lot of different emotions from all of the characters. I found it to be a play that kept my attention wondering what would happen next. Especially with the different relationships within the story. There was a love hate relationship that took place with the parents which pretty much trickles down to their son's and their marriages. It seemed as if each marriage was unhappy with their spouse in some way. I enjoyed the play and could see it come to life on a stage. It was entertaining and for the most part easy to read. Big Daddy's character was more like Bricks. They held the same nonchalant personalities as they both were unhappy in their relationships, but stays in them. They both carry a sense of humor that brightens the play from the sadness of sickness, depression, and envy that takes place. I found it sad that the family was preparing for Big Daddy's death on his birthday. I thought the way they went abo...

The play "A Doll House" was a very interesting read. It was almost like a movie playing out as you read it. I found the meaning of the play to be one that covers current issues within some marriages. The weight of a secret can really weigh heavy on a person. It can also cause the secret to form different, yet unnecessary lies to cover itself. Spiritually, I do believe that you are able to take certain issues to the Lord confiding in only Him for direction and He will then direct you in how to go about handling a situation or will also forgive you of a hidden sin.   I believe that Nora's inability to see herself as a person of value outside of her husband's image was her reasoning for confessing her secret Mrs. Linde. She wanted to prove that she was her own individual or that she had a “dark side” to her.   In my opinion, I think that some wives tend to put their all into their husbands, children, and homes that they forget about themselves. Being a wife and mot...

This read was not what I expected. After reading the Introduction to the play, I began to get excited about reading a "comedy" within a love story. However, after reading it I felt almost as if I had read a high school play that contained a comedy for teenagers. I felt like my mind was trying to wrap itself around the relationships as I tried to recollect who likes who in the story. However, love did find it’s way in the story, it was just a different approach which lacked my interest as a reader. I myself enjoy a good read that takes my mind on an adventure. Almost like watching a movie within your mind as you read. That was something this story lacked. This was a play that had me continuously looking for the last page while still in the beginning. I had a mental picture of me standing there in between Hermia and Helena as they described who they liked that didn't like them and who liked them that they didn't like.   I found the names to be interesting. The...
