I'm talking about my a.e.'s. I get no a.e. during the rest of the play. In those Friel plays, the whole first acts were without a.e.'s for me. However, the first acts were necessary to set up the impact of the a.e.. But note: after the single moment of a.e. in the two plays, I had no further a.e.'s in either play. And plays can have marvelously constructed set ups -- and yet no a.e. The set up is quite distinguishable from the a.e.
So is the rest of my life part of the set up. If I hadn't learned English, I wouldn't get an a.e. from Shakespeare. ************** Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food. (http://food.aol.com/dinner-tonight?NCID=aolfod00030000000001)
