Wunderkammer

The way in which Francesca Pazniokas writes the play is to show the emotion that each character conveys while they talk, and to also show how they feel during what they say in their dialogue. A perfect example is with the Keeper, and some of the actions being in italics when he begins to converse with the kid, and taking him out of the garbage bag  including his inner thoughts shows how he approaches people. This isn't like any ordinary play of course where the dialogue ends with a period and has breaks with the commas. This is different because there are multiple pauses and breaks like how you would actually speak to someone in real time. There are no quotation marks around what the characters say. However, the lines that are in italics are self explanatory when it shows what the character may be saying or doing during that moment in time.

  1. I agree with you about the play not being ordinary. Some how the play is a mix and match of feelings and understanding. There are different writings and this changes with the environment of how the characters are portrayed the play. First understanding the way the play was put in place.
