Spot the Difference

My whole life, I've always said that my reading skills is only up to easy books... I admit, it's true. But reading what I call "heavy" and nose-bleeding plays as required by our teacher I slowly come to appreciate the unique beauties. Each story may seem to have the same plot or the same conflict but somehow they are just different. With this, it leaves you wondering how are they really different. You can't say it but you know ou feel it. The plays "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennessee Williams and "A Doll House" by Henrik Ibsen (Holla!) were both about family... What you do for them and what you cab sacrifice for them. These stories really touched me because of the depth of the conlflict and how both conflicts are quite realistic to me. I do believe that there is really a possibility that this may happen to a family, I even imagined it happening to me. But somehow the action on how both conflicts were revealed were different... One was sprt of secretly and the other was all out. In the said play of Tennessee Williams the conflict was between a mother and son... And it was all out. It was also direct. Unlike in the play A Doll House, the conflict was secretly revealed (though technically, it was not really revealed). And the conflict here was between two "strangers" if I may describe it. This may seem a bit confusing for writing it actually is. But this is the beauty in these. Life is not given to us in a silver plate, so why read the easy way if there is something that will make your mind go round?
