Unexpected.

Well the play was a bit different than I had imagined. These characters had some very dramatic lives. I did not have a specific view of what the characters might be or how the play would turn out I just did not expect it to be the way it was. The widowed woman with her four children and her other husband whom had or almost had sex with her eldest daughter (I did not quite catch if it did happen or only almost happened... so confused). It was definitely an interesting read. The characters were correct, I'm sure people would like to see a play about their lives. Lastly it ends tragically and who doesn't like a good tragedy? But one thing that irks me is that the play is almost non-climactic because it ends so abruptly after the deaths of the two children. I guess its a personal view but I would have liked for them to have finished their play. I believe a play about their lives alone would have been an interesting one but I do love Pirandello's creative way of putting it. If he would have just made the 6 characters play than it would have been just like any old play and his play inside of a play made it all the more different.
