First & foremost *yells at top of lungs* Just wrong this HUGE blog entry just for it to get deleted. Uberly lame. But back to the topic at hand!
I love this play.. It officially has become a favorite of mine due to the eccentric mini-stories that Katurian tells or we discover as it goes on. The Little Jesus was quite bad ass if I do say so myself. But, what really makes me love this play is who their antagonist is. Michal as the anti hero is flippin' sweet because of who he is as an individual. If he was of sound mind or body, it would not be cool mimicing stories & such. The point that he is so naive & so innocent due to his mental stability makes it wicked cool. When I read this, it just made me think of John Krammer, also known as "Jigsaw", from the movie Saw. He was this guy in #1 who was in a hospital bed, dying, of cancer. In #2, he's invalid & only able to get around via wheelchair due to the progressive state of his cancer. In #3, he is stuck in his bed & then is inevitably killed! But, loe & behold, he still is the antagonist doing all of this crap. Michal is the same. To a sense, he is sick & still doing these demented things with the assistance of another. I hate when the murderer/serial killer is so lackluster without good enough motive. With him, he thought he was helping the individual kids from living horrible lives like the Pillowman, but thought he was the "nice" version opposed to the bad.
I apologize for lack of length, but I put my heart into the previous post & it betrayed me so...
*sighs in disbelief that all that work went to poo*
