Click

October 21, 2016

The play "Click" by Brighde Mullins is a strange play that only has two characters. It is hard to decide wether the Man or the Woman is the protagonist, but if I had to choose it would be the woman as the protagonist. I would say this because you have the woman telling the story with the man two thousand miles away from her. The rising action would be when the Man was asking the Woman what the clicking sound he was hearing while on the phone with her. The Man knew that the Woman wasn't going to tell him the truth when she was listing all the different things that the clicking noise could be. The falling action would be when the Man figured out that the Woman was drinking a beer while on the phone with him.

I believe that the Man was being sent to rehab for alcohol related purposes that also could have led to bigger problems such as domestic violence. The Woman could have been the Man's safe haven, so when he heard her cracking open a beer while he is in rehab for drinking he was let down. The Woman let down the Man when he needed her the most. What I took from this play is that if you know that someone is relying on you to better themselves, then you must make yourself be the best person you can be. Also, that you may never know who is looking up to you as a role model, so putting you best foot forward is always most important. Not only for yourself, but also those around you.
