Important reference to the context of the play The Sea by Edward Bond

 

‘’Lo, I tamed the wild beasts, but I

Cannot tame the torments of my beast.’’

These lines have been taken from the play "The Sea" (scene 4) by Edward Bond.

These lines have been taken from a very significant scene in the play. Because there is a play within a play. The characters are rehearsing a play to raise money for the coastguard fund. It is a sort of morality play. It is the story of Eurydice and Orpheus, which resembles the story of Rose and Colin. Mrs. Rafi is holding a rehearsal of the character.

These lines are spoken by Mrs. Rafi. She is a very dominant woman. She needs perfection in every task. It is difficult for the characters to create an artificial atmosphere. But Mrs. Rafi becomes angry and says that she cannot keep herself silent anymore. She can control wild animals, but it is very difficult for her to control human beings like animals. She can't bear the pain in her heart. The play attempts to demonstrate the superiority of art over life while also exposing some of the absurdities of religious people.

 

 

‘’Listen, where's the world's weak spot?

Here. They know there's no leadership.

There is no authority, no discipline in this town. So it is up to us.’’

These lines have been taken from the play "The Sea" ( scene 2), written by Edward Bond. Hatch is in his drapery shop, serving an aged lady, Mrs. Rafi, and Tilehouse. They also discuss the tragedy of Colin's death. And then Hatch fabricates. He thinks that Willy and Colin are aliens and want to destroy their land. They came here because their land was destroyed. They want to occupy their jobs and homes.

These lines are spoken by Hatch to Thompson. Hatch is a very sceptical person and sees the world with his highly sceptical ideas. He thinks that Willy is an alien and wants to destroy their land. He considers their world very weak. There is no leadership, no authority, and no discipline in their world. So it is very easy for aliens to come in and occupy their land. So it is very necessary for them to look after themselves.

 

‘’Then create a room. Don't you aspire to be an artist? Think of the miners who spend their lives crawling through darkness so that you may have light.’’

These lines have been taken from the play "The Sea" (scene 4) by Edward Bond.

The characters are rehearsing a play to raise money for the coastguard fund. It is a sort of morality play. It is a story of Eurydice and Orpheus, which resembles the story of Rose and Colin.

Mrs. Rafi gives order to Tilehouse that she will crawl under the stage, splashing water around in a basin to give the effect of a real sea. But she does not agree. She says there is no room for doing so.

These lines are spoken by Mrs. Rafi to Mrs. Tilehouse. She says that if she wants to become an artist, she should first create an image room for rehearsal. Because an artist has the ability to create things without the presence of things. She gives the example of workers who make a struggle and work hard to bring change in the lives of other people. A similar case is the one with art. The purpose of art is to give happiness and joy to people. These lines show that Mrs. Rafi's personality has a tendency to motivate others. She is trying to convince Tilehouse to take the role by giving the example of work and art.

 

‘’They look at me as if I'm a dangerous animal they have to avoid.’’

These lines have been taken from the play "The Sea" ( scene 6) by Edward Bond.

Rose and Willy came to the beach. They are talking about the death of Colin. And then Hatch returns with a knife in his hand. He found the body of Colin and killed him with a knife.

These lines are spoken by Rose to Willy. Rose is very depressed by the death of Colin. She wants to stay at the beach because Colin died here. She does not agree with the investigation. because she thinks that the investigator is not doing his duty honestly. They treat her as a dangerous animal. And it is very easy for them to convince her. They were not able to investigate why Colin died.
