The Glass of Water

When learning that this was a well made play, I thought to myself "we're the other plays that we had been reading bad made plays?" Then I had later learned that it was more of a category of a play than an actual title of a play. Eugene Scribe's Glass of Water was a play with little extremes, in that, it did not have to dire of circumstances and the charters weren't that entirely hard to decipher. No true psychological problems in the play. The example of secret and open loves including that of the Dutchess, the Queen, and Bolingbroke was one of the major parts of this play. Through all the activity in the world of Glass of Water, Bolingbroke seems to stand out as the protagonist. I find him to it perfectly due to the fact that he hasn't done anything too horrible or too triumphant. One of the simple reasons this character stands out to me is due to the audience being introduced to him in the first science and he s giving his thoughts on love and howitzer was just youthful folly. Bolingbroke uses everyone's love interest as a way to get what he needs in his political arena. His influence affects the decisions of those around him and, with his influence, his presence in the story carries it along.
