Those plot twists, however, are primarily because of Ludwig’s writing, but AHS’s production of A Game’s Afoot was able to seize those twists with the cast’s splendid acting along with the ambiance and music to accompany those riveting moments. Those moments prove to be very memorable. Events, such as Simon and Aggie being caught to be the mastermind of the murders from the past, but not Daria’s , Mrs. Gillette being the murderer of Daria, and Daria screaming into the crowd at the end of the play lead to memorable moments. Each plot twist was a change in the storyline that was not perceived to happen and wonderfully captured

Henrik Ibsen 's A Doll 's House and Susan Glaspell 's Trifle are two plays that were written in 1879 and 1916, and both are still well read and enjoyed plays because of this reason.

By analyzing these characters during their struggle against conformity to social norms, we can discover how this theme makes these two works relevant to present-day readers.
The irony of their advanced technology is that although their society may seem futuristic, they take multiple steps back in the social aspect of their civilization. One example of their social deprivation is how their form of entertainment is very violent and eye-catching; “Abruptly the room took off on a rocket flight into the clouds; it plunged into a lime-green sea where blue fish at red and yellow fish. A minute later, three White Cartoon Clowns chopped off each other’s limbs to the accompaniment of immense incoming tides of laughter” (Bradbury 96). In this, Montag explains the type of entertainment his fellow characters enjoy watching. The entertainment is very eye-catching with the use of bright colors, violence, and loud noise.
Fate is defined as something that simply just happens or “Falls upon your lap without any help or actions”.

While freewill is the opposite, it’s defined as something you as a person caused upon yourself, the actions you did was the reason you are in the situation and you can’t blame anyone but yourself, it’s thought of as the inner consciousness of a person or the permission to give one’s self. Fate vs. Freewill is what causes this novel to be so powerful because as Oprah stated “ When you hear this story, it’s going to turn the way you think and free will and fate upside down.” I believe that Oprah Winfey made this claim
This causes many characters to act out of line and no longer use discernment in their actions. Throughout the play, Miller illustrates different themes as a motive as to why different characters may be acting the way they are. One of the main themes Miller portrays in his writing is how these characters act
" Adversely, the story doesn't leave much for the reader to decide how to feel, it almost tells one how to feel because the detail is so engaging. That was just the point that Glaspell was trying to make though when she decided to turn the play into a story. It was the story, rather than her play, that drove her message home; the pursuit of justice for women in a man's
Fate is often described as the will or principle by which things in general are believed to come to be . The question of fate has been pondered over for ages , with the epic poem, Beowulf, raising questions on the concept of fate versus free will. The epic raises the question in the form of the complex,yet dynamic character Grendel. Although it seems at certain points that Grendel acts on free will ,he is in fact led entirely by fate.

Does arresting someone before they commit a crime remove the perpetrator’s free will? What if they changed their mind? These topics are discussed at length during the 2002 film Minority Report by Steven Spielberg. The plot of Minority Report centres around protagonist John Anderton, the chief of a futuristic police department, that uses “pre-cogs”, humans who can see crimes before they happen, to arrest the perpetrator before they have committed the crime. This polarises audiences, who either believe that they have a right to arrest someone for planning a crime, and those who believe that everyone is capable of changing their mind, before committing the crime.
