The Pillowman

The Pillowman was a very intriguing play that I found myself to be very engaged in. A writer named Katurian was being interrogated over the content of several of his writings and stories. Katurian at first thinks that he is being questioned by the detectives about political issues pertaining to his stories until he was informed that a series of child murders were being taken place a lot and that the killings were inspired by his stories which was very freaky. Michael was the psycho brother of Katurian who confessed to the killings of the children and as confessed to reenacting all of his psychotic stories that Katurian wrote. Katurian was a very unique writer and even though hid stories may be out of the ordinary and uncouth, his stories are his prized possessions. After these disturbing episodes, it gives the writer time to see if what he is writing about is safe and readable to his audience. Ariel and Tupolski said that they would not diminish Katurians stories being what his brother did was morally wrong but they wind up killing Katurian anyway which proves that destiny plays a essential role in life and in time.
