Fate of a Cockroach: A short play

To be honest, I am not interested in blogging on a topic that everyone else is blogging about. I feel like after a certain number of people have disected a novel that there really is nothing left to say. I am more interested in documenting what I have found aside from my classmates, so that they may read about something they haven't already read. So I am reading a short book of plays that begins with Fate of a Cockroach. FOAC is about several cockroaches, a king, a queen, a priest,a minister, a savant who must save the minister roaches sun from a bathtub. The play explores each of their roles as they try to determine how to save the minister's son. There are also scenes that encompass the humans as they contemplate the predicament of the roach that is attempting to escape their bathtub. There is a husband and a wife, Avil and Samia, a doctor and Youssef the postman. Avil admires the cockroach and his determination for escape, until the cockroach is killed by the ants and carried away. The cockroaches argue to determine how to tack action against the ants who are so organized and dependant on one another, while the cockroaches are by nature self reliant.
