Hall of Imagination
"If you're telling me this guy doesn't exist, I'm..."
Resurrection Blues, Arthur Miller (74)
I found this very conversation between Henri and Skip very interesting, and after reading it I couldn't shake the idea that maybe this man, messiah, whatever you might call him wasn't real, just something out of the characters imaginations. I liked Henri most out of the figures in the book, and I got the impression that his philosophical idea may have carried some weight in terms of the message Miller was trying to get across: I don't know what it was exactly, but it still seemed substantial. Also, the idea that the imaginary man was the only one who "still really feels everything" (76) seemed pretty ironic when considered with Henri's "hall of imagination" theory.
Other than that, the play appeared very straight forward as far as interpretation goes. It poses the question, "What would happen if Christ showed up today?" I think the result would be very much like Miller presented it to us, and that is very sad but true.
I think that Miller is trying to show readers how dangerous is can be to just believe in things because that is what is expected of you. I think that what Henri says carries a lot of weight but that may not be a good thing. He cant seem to get him self completely away from Felix.
