1. The essay tells me to ask as many questions as I could while I am viewing a play. And the way it describes the threater world is interesting. It asks us to imagine the play as a little planet.
2. The essay teaches me an order of viewing a play which is we should focus from the phycial setting, then the plots and finally the characters.
3. Always think more, not only the things we can actually see, but also the meanings and the conflicts behind them which we cannot see directly.
Three things I do not understand.
1. The author uses the planet to symbolize the play/threater world, so the elements the author mentions must represent somethings. I don't know what the "climate" in the paper represent. Am I thinking too much? Or there actually some deep meaning exists?
2.I have a question. Normally, character is one of the first things we see on the stage. Why the author says we should focus on those characters last?
3. The auther does not mention much about how to read the music. I want to know more about it.
Often as actors/readers/directors, we get focused too much on character and miss other things. Climate simply means climate but COULD also be a metaphor for something else (tone, underlying theme, etc.)
