Our town is one of my favorite plays. If I were to write a play, this is a similar idea as to how i would construct my play. One of my favorite parts of the construction of this work is the idea of the three separate act. Act I the act of daily life, act II that of love and marriage, and my absolute favorite act III of death and "eternity." When I first saw this play (in high school) I cried and I just loved it so much. Now, reading back on it i see just how amazingly poetic the whole entire play is and how much life matters or does it?
The amazing message Thornton Wilder coveys through this play is the meaning and expense of life, love and other mysteries. I love the end of this play where Emily finds re-living her life far too painful and begins to realize how many people including herself waste their life on so many other things but happiness. Each of the characters in this play have such important and separate parts, even the milk-man has a solid influence in this play. One of there best endings to a play is the end to THIS PLAY.The Stage Manager concludes the play, reflecting on the probable lack of life beyond Earth, and wishes the audience a good night. This is gold to me.
