A friend asked me what I thought of this play when I was about halfway through with it, and I replied that I really wasn't sure, because I was fairly apathetic towards all of the characters and the plot. After finishing the play, my sentiments remain exactly the same. This is the kind of thing I recommend everyone read because it is an important piece of American literature, but for me, at least, it was not a particularly impactful experience. Perhaps I will feel more once I need to analyze the deeper meanings contained in the story, but for now all I can say is it was an entertaining, but not terribly exciting, read.
