Loving

 

This was all right. It wasn't bad but it wasn't exactly a page turner either.  It concerns the life of the servants of the Tennant household during World War II. We go through the loves of the servants and various situations like the theft of a ring. I got lost because little happened. I kept thinking that maybe I missed something, but I didn't. The plot line of the IRA was kind of interesting, but I'll be surprised if I read another book by Henry Green. 

The Hairy Ape

 This was a good existentialistic play from Eugene O'Neill. The character Yank is a strong dumb man who works on a ship. When a wealthy girl refers to him as a beast at work, Yank loses it. He goes on a journey and realizes that both the rich and his own social class reject him. The ending is truly ironic when he comes across an ape itself. I found this play to be about the struggle to belong as well as a message on the social class. Eugene O'Neill was one of the better playwrights in the 1920s and his work is still riveting to read today.
