The Sound of a Confusing Voice

This past week we had read the play The Sound of a Voice by David Hwang and I decided that I really don't like plays....you know I never really why the author wants to make the point but makes it in the most secretive way ever. Then how are we supposed to find out what he/she is trying to tell us? Both of these characters in the play are complicated and cryptic, they really don't have a lot to say most of the time. You can tell though that throughout the play, both characters are developing a mutual deeper appreciation for each other, they are starting to understand each other! In weird ways though! 

Reem, you're not reading between the lines! To understand this play, you have to really dig deep to find out what the author is trying to tell you. Both of the characters desire another person to fill that pit of loneliness in their life. The symbolism through the play is amazing; something is mentioned in the beginning but you really don't understand the meaning of it till the end! Throughout the play, a mutual attraction is formed between the two characters as they begin to see each other in a different light. Instead of thinking she's odd, the man starts to see the woman as a caring and compassionate. The most important symbol in this play is the flowers because during the plays, voices are heard coming from them but the audience doesn't know what this means yet. The voices sound like "lost imprisoned souls to  him.. "you see if you really go back and reread it, you'll see how much this play has to offer and how beautiful it really is...
