| Abstract | In the Spring of 2007, I wrote and directed the original play "The Lookout" at the University of Southern California, Roski School of Fine Arts Gallery. The play was rooted in the fundamental concept that there are a definitive amount of ideological perspectives in life. The script used historical texts as examples to juxtapose these philosophical concerns as a means to discuss the rewards and repercussions of living life by different ideologies. A wide range of literary writings were unearthed from their historical, cultural and political context and sorted into what I define as six fundamental categories: the hermit, the traveler, the scholar, the naturalist, the idealist and the capitalist. In the writing of "The Lookout" these 'categories' were transformed into 'characters'; the gathered literary texts of each category became the sculpted dialogue for each character.; Contrary to the tradition of script writing, I wrote my play backwards. I began with the actual dialogue (coming directly from literary texts) and from there derived characters. In this written thesis, I focused on defining four characters from the original play as a means to explore and further solidify my theory on definitive perspectives. This thesis as a whole consists of an introduction that discusses the necessity of character development, followed by two short stories about characters in the play "The Lookout." |
