//As a record//
some of my favourite dialogues of the play by Harold Pinter.

A series of painful betrayals. Some hidden, some revealed, and some uncertain, with the whole story in reverse chronological ordering.

may seems to be a discourse of failed love to me, but it also about how love works and the cost of loving someone to the degree that causes so much pain, but it’s still worthwhile at the end (may be?).

Two things I love most of the script
1. The reversed chronological ordering
2. The ellipses, silence and pauses

The silences and pause is more like a musical score in this way, love the way how they reveal so much about the characters' internal struggles.

I do feel a bit empathetic for the characters even when they reveal themselves to be hateful, because somehow we see sides of our own selves, the selfishness, the inability of truly know ourselves , and the failure of communicating with people we love......

Thanks to the recent acting classes, do enjoy reading this 70s beautiful script.

and yes, like all these characters, I am also in a process of truly discover and knowing myself.
