three viewings

One thing I found that's common within the script is that they all have more than one death within the monologue. As for the one point of common resonance within the play, I would say that they never truly get to say what they wanted to, to their loved ones (or not so loved ones) that they lost. One thought that resonated with me while reading all three monologues, was the feeling of inexplicable loss, and the inability to share their feelings with others. For example, Emil couldn't tell anyone how he truly felt because he had a wife, Virginia couldn't tell anyone the plan her husband had set up for her, and Mac couldn't tell anyone the pain she felt from losing her family, and the resonating impact her grandmother had on her. If anyone of them were to speak of it, they would either be judged, or have debts to repay.

 One thing that's the same but different between the three monologues, is how the dead helps the main characters out even though their dead. For example, Ed helps Virginia with the debts that are owed, Nettie helps  realize where her feelings truly lie, and the problems she has that she's created for herself, and Terri helps Emil to realize the impact words-unsaid can have on a person.
