This play was intriguing, boring, and confusing all at the same time for me. Half the time I felt like I was missing something, and the other half I felt like I understood it on a deep level. Six Characters in Search of an Author has incredible potential to make people take a step back and think, which is what it did for me. The Father was pretty pervy to me, and though I wanted to keep reading and figure out exactly what had happened, I also wanted to put the play down on several occasions because things were so unclear and I seriously doubted that the play was moving anywhere.
Over all, this was not my favorite play to read. I think it would be more interesting and entertaining to see it performed on stage. It was difficult to keep up with all the different parts in my head, because they did not have real names. It would be easier if I could see real people acting out this play. This play goes beyond just words, it carries a meaning that stays with you when you're done with it. It almost felt like something I would discuss in my philosophy class. I enjoyed the play for what it was, but I probably would not read it again, or have read it on my own will to begin with.
