What are your thoughts on the three epigraphs Stephen choose to frame The Humans from from Hill Freud and Lorca? \u00a0The theme of fear seems to run through the three quotes as well as the idea of wearing a mask or being two sided. \u00a0I found that these themes were also apparent throughout the play. \u00a0Having read Think and Grow Rich (a gift from my grandparents who wanted me to better myself) I can speak to the Hill quote. \u00a0If I remember correctly Hill stressed the importance of visualization and having the correct mindset to acquire wealth and success in life. \u00a0If you allow yourself to let your fears dominate your mindset you won’t be successful. \u00a0This connects to the duality of the other quotes in that according to Hill in order to live your life well you have to let go of these fears and focus on actually living your life. \u00a0To answer Erin’s question on Erik being so paranoid and the only one who reacts to the thuds perhaps he is in the process of working through these fears. \u00a0Perhaps there is also a connection to the other two quotes, what are you thoughts?<\/p>\n
