In Williams's play, the reunion bet...

In Williams's play, the reunion between the one-time young lover Chance Wayne and Heavenly Finley is likewise fleeting and wrapped up in the swirl of larger ends that they literally do not speak to each other/ In Inge's play the reunion is the centerpiece of the plan and the climax occurs when the couple lovers, Bus and Jackie, depart for a night at a motel in a belated, equal defiant, one-night stand. In Williams's play, Chance is castrated for his temerity in staying in the town after his erstwhile companion, Del Lago, departs. Forced to have Chance's child aborted the first time her father herd him out of town, Heavenly was left infertile according to the procedure and now faces a events to come not only without the ability to have children on the other hand also without Chance. This conclusion circulars out the theme, which is that the "Sweet Bird" known as youth always flies away, and we have to accept the accrues and make the best of them. Young regard with affection Williams seems to say, is bourn to be a casualty; the sole questions are how and when the casualty will be met with All other aspects of the "Sweet Bird" are similarly doomed.
