So far I am not totally impressed with this play. The story line is difficult to read at times with all of the stammering of the characters and the feeling of the jumping of scenes.
From what I can understand of the play, it is a portrayal of the business world (retail in this case) and the fight among workers for power. One of the men are even willing to go to stealing the leads of the company in order to punish someone else and possibly get ahead. I think many readers could think of people that are like this one character and can foresee the negative affects that are sure to follow for this character as the play goes on.
One quote that I really liked was when Roma is trying to understand life and says that "if it happens, as it may for that is not within our powers, I will deal with it, just as i do today with what draws my concern today." I think this is a pretty good life motto to go by. If you spend all of your time regretting the past or fearing the future, you run out of time for enjoying the present. Although I am by no means as care free on the subject as Roma seems to be, I do think that overall, a day by day dealing with life is the best way to get through it and make the most of it.
