Space

Next we will analyze the space of the work, all places that appear throughout the argument.
In Twelve Blue can be seen several places along the plot.

At first the story moves us to a forest with a river. This space is very important in the play because it is the place of origin of the dead child’s rumor in the river, that unleashes the pensive character of the protagonist and that somehow might change Samantha's life.

With this fact, the author explains how the girl reflects on important issues such as death, something we all have done sometime. So he humanizes her and we can get to identify.

With smaller importance, it appears spaces as the beach, where Samantha ask his father, showing curious about things like sex. The kitchen is another of the spaces where Samantha, her mother and sister meet to talk for hours.

One of the spaces better been described is the cascade of the river, where she used to go with her boyfriend Jorge. Here it is described in detail, especially the rocks.
