ANALYSIS OF SPACE
Here I’m going to point out the
different spaces that appear in the play “Lies”.
First of all, the narrator says that
he and his girlfriend live together in their apartment. However, he does not
say where the apartment is
situated not even the city which
they are in. Furthermore, he doesn’t give to the reader at least a little
description about the apartment so
readers can imagine how
the apartment is by their own way.
Second, the narrator talks about a
previous period of time situating the female character into a room with some of
her friends. Once more,
he doesn’t tell us anything about the
room in which she was.
The last space showed in this play is
a park. There is any information about it. Simply the narrator mentions it
during a memory.
In conclusion, this play, at least the
one I’ve read by choosing the different links, has not almost spaces. But I
think this is a good fact
because so the reader can think
about the story without being worried about where the main character is in each
moment.
