This is the second time I have read this play, and it is still as intense as the first time. The characters in this play are so messed up, and it is so hard to stop reading. It was really easy to hate Martha, but feel so incredibly sorry for her at the same time. The entire play was uncomfortable to read, but at the end there was almost some sort of cathartic feeling, like everything had been purged. There were no more lies at the end of the play, and George killed off their make believe son. I liked the note that this play ended on, even though I would have liked to known what happened between George and Martha later on.
This was my favorite play we have read so far, the dark humour was cynical and refreshing all at the same time. The overpowering theme of lies and deception is common throughout everyday life, and is something everybody can relate to, in some kind of way.
