While I was reading this play I was thinking a lot on how the
story would have been different if the main character Eugene was a girl and if
Aunt Blanches husband had not died, and if Eugene's father Jack had not lost
his job. If Aunt Blanche’s husband had not died then, she and her two daughters Nora
and Laurie would have never moved in with Kate her
husband Jack, and their two boys Stanley and Eugene. If Eugene was a girl he
would have been weird around Nora, and could have gotten along better with her and possibly everyone else in the family. If Jack
had not lost his job, then he wouldn't be as frugal and would not mind having
Blanche and her two daughters stay for free. Unfortunately, Blanche doesn't have
a job which makes it hard for her to give back to her sister and brother in
law, if she had a job, then it would be easier for her to save up for a place
to stay and give back to her gracious sister and brother in law. As you see there are many changing elements in this play in fact, there are many changing elements in this play that I did not point out. What are your thoughts on the changing elements in this play?
If the Eugene was a girl a lot would be different. His character alone could impact the story so much. He wouldn't probably get along with a lot more of his family members. If Blanches husband never died her life would be so much different. Kate and her family wouldn't be struggling and Blanche and her children would be happier
ReplyDeleteI believe the story though would have not been the same if Eugene was a girl. I feel each character had their role in the story. I do feel though that if Blanches husband didn't die it would have added more to the story and would have changed the struggle's for both families. Each character is significant as they all showed importance throughout the play.
