The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail

Blogging....

1. Oh, the Irony...
          ~ One example of irony is when the newly named Henry Williams dies a free man. After all those years in slavery, finally being free costs him his life. I guess his name didn't get much use after all.
          ~ Another example of irony is how much of a hypocrite Waldo is. He spends all this time speaking of god, love and peace, only to end up fighting with his living consious. He yells at Henry because he says hes doing all he can to speak out, but in Henry's oppinion Waldo isn't doing enough.

2. Characters and Actors - all the more fakes
          ~ The most important character of the lot, would be Henry. This play is about him, isn't it? Anyway, I don't really get into the actor buisness, so I really have no idea who to choose for who. I guess for Henry I would either have Matt Smith, or Johnny Depp play the role. Both are slightly mad, insane more like it, but they are also smart in their own way. Yet all the same when it comes to Henry. Crazy? (more to Smith)
          ~ Waldo is also an important character. I'm a bit stuck with the actor... Preferably someone old, slightly intelligent, gets a joke, and thinks hes can do good but doesn't do much of how to go about it.
          ~ Last, but not least (still got the protesting to do :) ) there is John. John is practicly everything to Henry. Insperation, hope, thoughtful silence maybe his existance. He is very calm, cool in the head, not much to explain here. Don't know who would play him, again, I'm awful at this... Anyone with the above description anyway.

3. Protesting - protest the impossible and live to tell the tale. Or at least get out of Jail.
          Ah, the never-ending battle in which Henry is locked in. In the end, I don't think hes all too successful. I mean, everyone still has to pay their taxes, war still wages with foreigners (sometimes ourselves) and we are still not free from the public eye. I feel like in the end, he just gave up. He walked, right back to Society if you will. The fight just died in him, or was taken out by our unjust (in Henry's eyes) civilization/world.

Until next week! Or maybe not....
