The play‚ “Our Town”‚ as a whole is remarkably interesting‚ the characters‚ the story manger always stopping the story at random times because he feels like that is all the reader needs to know.

The morning meaning birth in Act I‚ the wedding that shows how life moves along in Act II‚ and the night meaning death at the end of Act III.

Dickinson did a good job of explaining what Transcendentalism is really about‚ which is that death is coming for everyone. Our Town stands out to me because it doesn’t use any props‚ and its strong symbolism that makes a point without being boring and difficult to understand. There is some question to what you can define the meaning as‚ however. "Thornton Wilder’s Our Town reflects the ideas and ideals central to Transcendentalism.

All the rest of the props that the actors had to use were pan mimed
