Summary Of The Play She Kills Monsters Essay

Jhonar Grabiel
She Kills Monsters She kills monsters is about Agnes who loses her family in a car crash, after this incident she tries to discover more about her young sister, Tilly, by playing a Dungeons and Dragon map that her sister created. When I sat down in the Bradley Hall Theater I was expecting a comedy with a serious tone instead it was a dark comedy with a geeky humor.

This scene was emotional to watch because we have seen this girl kick butt they entire play but in the actual world she can not move her legs. Not only is sad but it adds more depth to the characters, primarily Tilly. The author gives us a sense about how Tilly wishes to see the world and how much she loves her friends. Even though the climax was a disappointment, the resolution of the play was strong. After Agnes finished the game, she wishes she could have spent more time with his sister. The approach that the author took in this scene was delightful; the way Tilly’s voice fade away and slowly was becoming Chuck’s voice was touching, and it is seen that Tilly was leaving Agnes forever.
