Glass of Water

Responding to Dr. Fletcher's Post on Glass of Water 

This particular play Glass of Water by: Eugene Scribe fits fine with the well made play structure. I didn't particularly like reading this play. It was lengthy and a battle against sleep.  Although, all the pieces seemed to fit within this play’s story. If I had to pick one moment where I thought the pieces did not fully match up I may have to say the scene where at the very end of the play the discourse between the Duchess and Bolingbroke. I honestly was very confused reading this scene. I had to go back and reread half the play to see if I missed something. The character’s relationship was so bizarre and I had thought they just didn't see eye-to-eye the entire play till the very end. Also the way they had to speak about what they were doing before kissing and slapping each other was so out of place for me. Especially since the characters are already married to others. I’d say Glass of Water is a different play in general; even though it presents the idea of a well made play structure.
