The set is clean and empty; it is a blank canvas. There are plain colours on stage, whether it be just a white light, or a light blue. There is someone on stage. They are not female; nor are they male. They just are. This is THE CHARACTER. THE CHARACTER is in a limbo of sorts. THE CHARACTER did not mean to pass away -- they did not want to pass away.

It was on an early morning during the fall, a Monday. We were all getting ready for a “long” trip. The four of us, each carrying a thick, heavy duffle bag. Cramming in our oversized bags, only two could fit in the trunk of our small white sedan. The sedan was about as small as a smart car.

to live its own with ignorance. Moreover, Tess’s encounter with Alec after fleeing Emminster is reflective of the men who commit heinous deeds and then have a sudden change of heart due to religion. Alec says he is a changed man and has repented, but Tess is able to see past that and despises him for it. Tess was right in dismissing his religious outburst as a temporary façade, because he quickly returns to his corrupted state. Alec is reflective of the many men who sin and live carelessly…
