Angels
I found that one of the most common themes among Angels in America andalmost all of the other plays was that of denial. As Ryan Childers said, "Almost every character in this play is in denial." This makes a very good point. Many of the plays, movies and books that weexperience generally have one or more characters that are in some kind ofdenial. This is very important to a story, and also very easy. Having a characterthat is in denial always gives several different options for an ending. Theproblem can be solved or unsolved, but usually has some sort of meaningbehind it. It is not the conflict between characters that we find interesting asmuch as the character's conflict with themselves. We are always interested tosee what will happen to the character and w
This wasn'tnecessarily the case in any of the relationships in Angels in America. " Not only is this denial, but it also shows how many characters lay blame for theirown defeats. You cannot have conflict among characters without conflict withinthe characters. The denial of almost the entire cast would play a majorrole in the intensity of the both the stage and film version of this play. This often also leads to one, or both, characters placing the blame and fault onthe other. Denial is an important part of virtually every play written. One of thecharacters usually realizes their fault and gives in to the other. From Nora to Torvald to Goodman Brown and to Dodge from Buried Child. Each of these characters is in denial of something that they havedone or something that they feel. As a film it would be a lot of fun toying with the split scenes and thecharacter development. We can go through every character in every play and find each of them in somesort of denial. We can see this same situation take place in the interactionof husbands and wives or boyfriends to girlfriends in so many plays that it isalmost redundant. This conflict is usually resolved by the end of the story. Sometimes the character does, sometimes they don't.
