For a Grade 11 reader, this presents a unique challenge: ** prosody**. Reading the play silently can be confusing; the sentence fragments often lack traditional grammatical markers. However, when read aloud—which is the intended medium for drama—the complexity resolves into a mimicry of real thought processes. The 1260L designation accounts for the sophisticated inference required to understand the subtext. The characters rarely say what they mean; they cajole, threaten, and manipulate. Students must read between the lines, deciphering the desperate subtext beneath the mundane surface conversation.
