Life Versus Death

This theme is kind of sad in a way. This theme is about the differences between the living and the dead parts of the play. In the play Beatrice basically kills everything around her. Beatrice ended up killing the rabbit. Also Nanny is almost dead herself. She walks around like a corpse. Tillie is the one who brings life to the play. She has so much potential to do great things. She plants the marigolds. She manages to keep them alive. I think science keeps Tillie alive as well. Science gives Tillie a chance to dream. I chose this picture because it reminds me of Heaven and Hell. Heaven is worth living for. Hell is just an excuse to be dead.
