The Pavilion Play

In the play the Pavilion, regret, forgiveness, and living in the present were the main themes presented in this play. Everyone has regrets on what they should or should have done but can we really go back in time to change our decision, no. All we can really do is learn from our mistakes and try not to make the same mistakes again. Forgiving sometimes is a hard thing for someone to do. But once you get to the point where you can forgive someone you can finally move on from the problem. In this play, I will demonstrate what Kari and Peter did to show forgiveness, regret, and also lastly living in the present.
What I realized was, Peter one of the characters is always dwelling on the past. He makes the audience realize that he has missed his opportunity, but if he were to be given a chance he would want to go back in time and change his choice of leaving Kari. In the play he kept asking for a second chance from Kari. He knows what he did in the past was wrong and he begged for the narrator to go back a million years so he can redo the decisions he made. But the narrator made it clear that she couldn’t change time. Peter keeps thinking that if he could go back in time he could change everything and everything in the present would be different. But what he doesn’t know is that if you aren’t living in the present then everything that he thinks is all just an illusion. All he could really do now is live with the decisions he made, and live in the present. Living in the present is something I think everyone should do. No one should dwell on pass events and decisions because there is nothing we can do to change what has already happened. All we can really do now is just deal with what we have right now and make the most of it.
Another thing Peter dwells on is regret. Throughout the play Peter keeps talking about how he regrets the decision that he made and he wish he could go back and change his decision for Kari. Although Kari tells him there is

    Almost every day people with great intentions try to create a utopia of any kind. In the path towards a utopia there are many things which one must sacrifice in order to achieve the utopia which has always been a dream of many. However, sometimes the price to create a utopia is too much to pay and in ‘The Giver’ the price is definitely too much to pay. Therefore, the ‘community’ is definitely more of a dystopia opposed to being a utopia because everyone behaves as if they are incompetent of feeling, emotion, all civilians of the community have limited prerogatives and limited decisions which they are allowed to make and the fact that differences are not tolerated leans the ‘community’ towards a dystopia as opposed to utopia. However, the largest price which the community has payed by far is the fact that almost no one has any memories of the past. Sadly, almost no one except ‘The Giver’ and Jonas are bothered by this, as no one in the community besides selected few (such as ‘The Giver’, chief elder and Jonas) are aware of what they are missing.…

    People are not always what they appear to be. The saying “don't judge a book by its cover” really applies to most of the characters in the play. Some of them appear to be genuine and caring when, in reality, they are rotten and angry on the inside. However, they are great at masking their true selves. It is where the reader really needs to read between the lines and decipher the true feeling each character possess.…

    Toni Morison writes this novel on the idea that our present is tied to our past and that a shameful decision may come around to haunt us. Morison expands on this structure by using various devices such as flashbacks, storytelling, and different points of view. She uses fragmented changes between characters and their points of view. This allows the reader to fully comprehend the point that the writer is trying to make.…

    One of themes is absurdity and reality. During the beginning of the play, Jerry begins the conversation with Peter and carefully chooses topics Peter would be familiar with, such as family and career. However, Jerry soon begins to say ridiculous things and questions This is apparent during the moment when Jerry, assuming that Peter does not like his daughters’ cats, asks if Peter’s birds are diseased. Peter says that he does not believe so and Jerry replies: “That’s too bad. If they did you could set them loose in the house and the cats could eat them and die, maybe.” These unreasonable and ridiculous, or absurd, moments in the play begin to shake Peter’s sense of reality. Even so, he is careful…
