Wunderkammer

I found this play very funny. At first when I started reading I seemed a little confused but then when I read with Michaela I found it very interesting since it is better to read with more people since there you feel that one is really participating in the conversation. In addition to the explanations and questions asked about the play, I can understand more about the plot of the play. Francesca Pazniokas wrote this play in order to introduce characters talking to each other making this play look realistic. The actions of the characters and the way they talk about each other is compared to a realistic play like in real life. Despite the fact that the setting of play is not described, it can be said that it is in a distant place far from urban life. This place could be on a farm. The Keeper character in my impression seemed to me an ambitious person for money, selfish since he treated the Kid like a slave and forced him to do what he wanted. The Keeper just wanted to make a profit and better their economy based on the Kid. Soon after, he discovered that the boy had special powers to revive animals such as the armadillo, the bear, and other animals. The keeper knew that he was going to make good profits through the Kid. At the end of that act I, The Kid did not imagine that the bear that revived with other animals would kill the Keeper, destroying his body after he died. Even though, the Keeper wasn't that good with Kid. The Kid did have affection for him since he shared that place with him.
