After watching it in one go, I am no longer there.
One word for the overall atmosphere - mourning. Whether it's old Horace, old Peter, or Horace, Peter, or everyone who comes to the tavern for a drink. Seeing their dejected appearance, I couldn't help asking myself, what's that in your life? All the characters in the play have reasons for his loss. Horace got married too early in the early years. When she didn't understand what marriage was, she met her sister-in-law for the second time, and then she got out of control. The funny thing is that he made his wife and sister-in-law have a big belly at the same time. After the sister-in-law gave birth to her son, she gave up and traveled everywhere. And his own family is also fragmented, his daughter has always been estranged from him, and his son has never seen and said a word to him before his death.
My favorite and sympathetic person in the play is Peter. It was only in his fifties that he realized that his biological father threw himself to his uncle, and he was an old poisonous tongue. The adoptive father abused him when he didn't agree with him, and the adoptive mother abandoned him when he ran away from home. left him. I felt abandoned since I was a child, grew up in domestic violence, and suddenly suffered from a neurological disease, and spent so long in a psychiatric hospital. He finally came out, facing all Horace's family members, showing no love for him. I was extremely disgusted. After syivia got sick, Peter's vicious tongue when he invited his new girlfriend to dinner, I couldn't stand it any longer. Of course, syivia is also bitter, this is a serious literary and artistic work, and there is no complete bad person. I sympathize with Peter, because he was in a situation that he could not choose. Whether it was abandoned by his biological father, abandoned by his adoptive mother, domestic violence, or later hospitalized, the most important thing was that he felt that his life had to go on. Because it might get better one day. As for Horace, he has the ability to choose a better life, but he is defeated by the desire of the lower body and the lack of self-discipline. Moreover, it is really disgusting to give an apology every time after hurting someone, and then look like nothing has happened. The "cowardice, lack of vitality, negativity" exuded from him gave me no reason to like this person.
When life no longer had hope and opportunities for improvement, and when he could never get support and love from the people he trusted most, Peter finally made that choice, which was "unexpected and reasonable".
