Document Summary

You are watching a short period of time in the characters lives. They are coming from somewhere and going to somewhere. Emphasis on the cause and effect of behavior. What does our behavior come from and what does it impact and effect. Heredity and environment- how does the forces of the environment and heredity affect who we are. Who we are can be traced to h and e. Level of education (of you and of parents and grandparents) Central conflict usually has to do with that. Visual exposition: looking at photographically detailed set and you start to make assumptions before you meet the characters. In ghosts, it describes the set as a garden dining room etc. The audience then makes some assumptions from this before the play even begins. The assumption is that they are comfortable, upper class. You also notice that they are literate because they own books.
