Quotes and my reaction to the play
“You think just because people propagate that they have to love their offspring?”— said by Dodge
>> This is said by Dodge about the abomination that Halie gave birth to after she had an affair with her son. It shows the dysfunction of the family.
"I had no idea in the world that Tilden would be so much trouble. Who would’ve dreamed. Tilden was an AllAmerican, don’t forget. Don’t forget that. Fullback. Or quarterback. I forget which." - said by Halie
>>> This quote said by Halie shows one of the themes of the play. It is from Act I and the theme I'm talking about is the failure of the American dream. Tilden [the oldest son] used to be a football star but he is no longer playing and that's one of the signs of not fulfilled American dream.
"Well that’s good. That’s good. It’s much better not to know anything. Much, much better" - said by Dodge
>>> This is quote from Act II, when Vince arrives back home after he's been away for 6 years. No one in the family seems to recognize Vince. They are so withdrawn and so closed up after everything that happened to them. This quote also shows that are keeping some things a secret.
"Go ahead! Take over the house! Take over the whole goddamn house! You can have it! It’s yours!
It’s been a pain in the neck ever since the very first mortgage. I’m gonna die any second now. " - said by Dodge
>>> This is a quote from Act III, it is at the very ending of the story. Dodge is about to die soon so he talks to Tilden about some heritage stuff. Ever since Tilden had an affair with his mother [Halie] Dodge treated him differently. Well, no wonder he did that.
