So one play I would like to see again is this play called The Castle from France Kafka. I had the opportunity to actually view it in the National Theatre of Budapest, which is like gorgeous. And I went there with my husband and if I had to see any other play again with anyone, actually I would still choose my husband because I like the fact that we always have different opinions, But we’re able to like come back in this case, you know different polarizing views We have about a certain TV show or a certain play and even in this case I like the fact that this play is very You know, it’s very metaphorical play at least that’s what I thought Because it can people can decide for different meanings from different plays even when we left the theater me and my husband both had like different views of what happened. We had a different interpretation of the whole thing. You know, and for me, it meant that this guy who is at the bottom, you know, and he wants to go uphill to the castle, but somehow he’s not able to reach the top. And he has to do all these multitudes of things to get to the top. And it still doesn’t happen for him. He has to please different people. he has to ask for help from different people.

So one play I would like to see again is this play called The Castle by Franz Kafka. I had the opportunity to actually view it at the National Theatre of Budapest, which is gorgeous. I went there with my husband, and if I had to see any other play again with anyone, I would still choose my husband because I like the fact that we always have different opinions. We're able to come back from this case, you know, with different polarizing views about a certain TV show or a certain play. Even in this case, I like the fact that this play is very metaphorical, at least that's what I thought, because people can derive different meanings from it. Even when we left the theater, my husband and I both had different views of what happened. We had different interpretations of the whole thing. For me, it meant that this guy who is at the bottom wants to go uphill to the castle, but somehow he's not able to reach the top. He has to do all these multitudes of things to get to the top, and it still doesn't happen for him. He has to please different people; he has to ask for help from different people. Some of them are willing to help him, and some of them are not so willing to help him. I feel like it just showed, at least in my interpretation, that to reach the top, to basically reach that elite level, you have to please so many people in your life. You have to do things that you might not be willing to do. You have to break the hearts of some people, and you are going to get your heart broken in this process as well. Somehow, even after doing all of that, you might still not really make it to the top. So it was very metaphorical for me and a very gloomy and melancholy show, but it was something that I really enjoyed watching.
