One motif (progression), other than
the monkey that the “man” points out, I noticed was the fact that these characters used a false
identity to gain something else for their benefit. First off, Kitty and Janet were actors. They get paid to be
someone else. Next, Drowsy easily tricked Aldolpho into having sex with her
when she knew that he was specifically looking for Janet. However, I guess this works out in the
end because she prevented a potentially very dangerous situation. And finally, Janet pretended to be Mimi
whenever she wanted information out of her fiancé. All of these situations were fairly harmless and playful but
added the element of deceit and trickery.
I am curious to see more about how Aldolpho reacts whenever he finds out
that “Janet” isn’t Janet. It also
baffled me a bit that Robert didn’t recognize his own soon to be wife. Yeah she
was using an accent, but it shouldn’t have been that hard, but that is beside
the point.
Secondly, duration played a huge
part when it comes to Trix the aviatrix.
We see her briefly at the beginning of the show, however, she doesn’t
come up again until the very end. Her role isn’t the most important during the bulk
and action of the plot, but she ties everything together in the end. In fact, I completely forgot about her
until she popped back up, and I think that was the point. She’s clearly
important because she helps marry four different couples and sends them on
their honeymoon after a crazy tumultuous day, so in the end, she’s actually
really, really important.
