Gods Ear

Gods ear is a very strange play. The first thing i noticed when i first read the play was the way it was written. It's written almost like a poem, with a few words per line, and very abstract concepts. Although it wasn't directly said in the scene i suspected that Guys son was also dead. Reading the play confirmed this when Teds' wife asks him why every one he talks to has a dead son. The play was very difficult to understand and read. There are very long segments of dialouge where a character will lists various cliche statements, almost as if they are trying to say everything there is to say. It may be a play that would be more enjoyable to watch.

Guy

Guy seems like a character who strugles with himslef. He wants to make a connection with ted yet he feels that he cant. He struggles to express how he truly feels towards Ted. What a valuable frined he is. Instead he makes crude Jokes and taunts him. The Death of his son may be causing him to supress how his emotions. When guy tells Ted that he has a generous spirit, i think he really means that. He has a lot of respect for Ted but he also has a bit of a short temper and is easily offended. Guy appears to be a simple character without much motivation yet he is a man who's deeply insecure about his emotions and his life.
