I thoroughly enjoyed reading and understanding the literary work, Our Town by Thornton Wilder. The play begins in 1901 by illustrating the simple lives of ordinary people in Grover’s Corner, New Hampshire. Wilder has created the element of purity by using small town Leria 7 characters as a universal theme. Each of his three act represents a different aspect of life staring with the simplicity of daily living through the struggles of love, marriage and then death. He opens his play with a sparse stage by setting only two tables and six chairs right across from each other. This is to help establish the simplicity of the American play. From there, you are brought into a world that was most likely complimentary to your own growing
