Read Act 2 -
Prepare discussion notes for 3 motif: Death, Blues, Baseball and how each motif drives the themes of the play.
Possible themes: The creation of Order, Freedom vs. Protection, Personal Apocalypse, the American Dream, and The African American Difference.
Be prepared to evaluate the wants and gets of each character and the cost of sacrifice in the play as a whole.
What do you think Wilson is trying to communicate to us about the 20th century African American experience? How is it unique? How is it similar to the experience of the Loman's?
