i'm getting confused about the time and place of the play now.i know it takes place in china.but the time is different.the people still believe in gods but there are "aeroplanes"?so when would this be taking place?
the cousin is creeping me out.mr shui ta is now controlling everything.he took over her buisness and now he's planning her marriage?with out even discussing it with her?because it is not at all fair that he can just appear out of no where and control shen teh.
and speaking of shen teh where is she?she just poofed away,then comes back in the park and shes getting married.like where is this story going????then this man sun comes into the story and him and shen teh are talking in the park for a bit.i think they're talking about him trying to comite suicide?i'm not completely sure.this whole play is very confusing.i feel like there are 2-3 different stories happening at the same time but i dont understand any of them.shen teh's story,shui ta's story and wang's minor story.and what ever happened to the gods?are they ever going to come back?are these stories ever going to like connect together?i'm just so confused about the theme,the purpose,the plot.i'm just confused!
what i do get is brecht's writing style a little bit more but thats only because you explained it and even then its not eintirely clear.evil person of szechwan is more i like it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so in the park shen teh and sun were talking about him killing himself.and shen teh is getting married for money.wang is back!as are the gods.
another question i have is how are the scenesbroken up?some are scenes and then there are interludes and breaks in between.that aren't scenes,but i'm not sure what they are?
well the gods are really concerned about shen teh,they have to know if she's being "good" i guess.but then wang is giving them false information because he told them things her cousin did not shen teh so she'll get in trouble for her cousin's rudeness.but according to her he's not coming back so maybe she can have her buisnesswithout her stupid cousin.
and why do some of the charatcers like break out into songs or these poem things?its not just normal dialogue,its like a break away from the dialogue.so i'm confused as to what that would be called??
i still dont like these gods.they just seem weird.like different.they dont seem like normal gods.they seem too concerned with the common people,and i want to know why!!!!i'm still confused as hell.
