BLOODY MARY
I would like to analyze bloody Mary’s story. After I read the story, the first thing that I want to analyze about the exposition. this play in city street corner. There are five character play in this story. The setting on the street corner in spring. The raising action happened when Joe a man who with one leg and one arm comes and falls in front of Mary.
They introduce them self each other and Mary ask him to make a tourniquet for stop her blood. The conflict happened when Mary wants to touch Joe, and Joe avoid from her then he wants to leave her alone. Mary said that Joe is the one who can help her with the tourniquet.
The climax happened when suddenly the tourniquet which is already done by Joe apart from Mary’s arm. She is starting bleeding to death again. Then Mary extends her arm to Joe. Joe looks very surprised when he noticed it.
He feels disappointed because he did not success to help Mary with the tourniquet which is already done by him for a while before. Mary call Joe more than three times and hope he would tie the tourniquet again. She was loosing too much blood. Then about the falling action when Mary lost her consciousness and Joe did not know about it. He still continue make a tourniquet then suddenly he saw Mary was lost her consciousness, Joe made the tourniquet very quickly and expertly. But although the tourniquet is tied Mary is not responding. And the last about the resolution when Joe thinks about giving her mouth to mouth to save Mary and then the police officer comes to them. Finally Joe and Mary get a slice of pie and they enjoy it.
In the beginning of the story, when we read this story we find each character in the play. The old lady in the story above describable arrogant, conceited and did not care with the other people who need her help. Besides there are two man. Man in the suit and the police officer. Man in the suit in this story describe that he is a drunkard, he was in confusion and he tried to help the old lady across the street. Police officer is a man who wants to arrest Mary, and in the last of the story the police officer came to arrest Joe because he think that Joe has already hurt Mary when Mary lost her conciseness. And the last person is Joe a man who has one leg and one arm and help Mary to make a tourniquet. He save this woman.
The essence or the message from the play, Mary is a symbol of society condition that need our sympathetic and our help, but sometimes we are not able to help the people that have a difficulty condition and need our help. In the final of the story there is a man his name Joe. Joe has a physical defect or handicap, and we can see with the bad condition he is able to be a good person who help Mary who is suffer from illness.
Besides, the story wants to remember us and notice ourselves that the social condition like above is a general fact that we meet everyday in every places.
