When reading a work of literature, whether it be a play, novel or any other work, you usually imagine a world in your own head based on your understanding of the reading. To see a literary work come to life can often contrast the image you have created in your head. This is what happened to me when I viewed the play for Endgame after reading the play. Watching the play was very enjoyable for me as I was able to see the characters come to life. I found that the actors brought more personality into the characters than I got from the reading, as their added movements and tone of voice/facial expressions added to the characters I had originally imagined. In addition, the director’s idea he mentioned of the play being set in a post-apocalyptic world inside a bomb shelter also added another depth to the play as I was able to be given a different outlook as to what world this play might be taking place in. I always find it interesting when literature comes to life, and this play was a great way to bring Endgame to life.

I agree with you Sabera, especially when you said: “To see a literary work come to life can often contrast the image you have created in your head.” this happens to me every time I read a book and watch the movie. In the book, most of the character to me when I read it seem to be low-energy, but watching the play almost everyone had high spirits and very emotional is the way they acted and spoke. This gave me a new view on the characters. Watching this play was also very enjoyable for me too.
