uldnt have made the Skipper so grumpy and miserable. He should have been the one to want a better life for his family. He should have been the one who guided them through the tough times, and made them see they really do love each other. It was too depressing for me to watch this string of unhappiness throughout the family. Also to see that the only character that was trying to make things better, Brad, was so tormented that he committed suicide.I didnt leave the play with a sense hat I learned something from it. The play for me just seemed to carry on into this long path of unhappiness. I would have felt better if something, such as the death of Brad, would have changed the characters attitudes. Little seemed to make these characters see that they lived in a destructive household.I did not particularly like the ending, but I do think that it was maybe trying to portray what I was hoping to see. At least the ending did have a change of pace for the play, but I thought that it was just too out of place. I think an ending that was a little more defined or true to life would have suited the play better, and left the audience with a better outlook on the play or even life in general....
