Kev adjusted his position in the hammock‚ just enough to look round. Beyond the shade cast by the trees‚ the beach was ablaze with sunlight. The glare from the white sand would have been painful if it hadn’t been for his sunglasses. Even with them‚ the flicking pinpoints of light from the sea stabbed sharply into his retina. There was still ice in the bucket‚ though‚ and the drinks were cold. Along the beach‚ he could see the girl coming back towards him. The bright orange

In “The Second Night”‚ Sam attempts to object Gretchen’s theory‚ The Body Theory of Personal Identity‚ which states that two beings are the same person as long as their bodies are numerically identical. Sam’s first argument states that Gretchen’s argument violates the epistemic constraint of knowing which person is which on an everyday basis and thus the body theory is false. 1.

The opening lines of the drama in particular immediately makes this clear‚ as the Sheppards are portrayed as bitter‚ cold men quick to complain.
