hallt es von der Wand so zurück‚ als ob die Schatten selber sprächen. Da sich die Welt der Gefangenen ausschließlich um diese Schatten dreht‚ deuten und benennen sie diese‚ als handelte es sich bei ihnen um die wahre Welt. Platon (bzw. Sokrates) fragt nun‚ was passieren würde‚ wenn man einen Gefangenen befreien und ihn dann zwingen würde‚ sich umzudrehen. Zunächst würden seine Augen wohl schmerzlich vom Feuer geblendet werden‚ und die Figuren würden zunächst weniger real erscheinen als zuvor die Schatten

Patricia and Frankie. In "The Highwayman" Bess‚ the landlord’s daughter was not allowed to talk to the highway man because of her father. This is similar to "Typhoid Fever" because Frank and Patricia were not allowed to talk to each other because the nuns and nurses wouldn’t allow it because of their diseases.

Mood: The play is going to undergo through some transitions in mood. It is going to start off in a lively
