Now that we have read the last act of the play, what do you think the purpose of Act 5 Scene 6 is? This is the passage with Sarah Ironson and Rabbi Chemelwitz. Why are these characters back? What are they trying to say about why people in heaven play cards? What was Kushner's motive for that scene?

Angels in America: Should we trust them?
In the Act II, Scene 2 the Angel and Prior lead a very interesting dialogue. From the scene do you think the Angel is right? Can we trust the Angel? Why or why not?

Angels in America
As we keep reading the play, which I really enjoy, the characters are starting to develop and we know more from the individual scenes. Many of the scenes are funny or very thought provoking. What is your favorite scene from the play that we read so far and why? :)

Louis and Belize
While reading the part in Act Three where Louis and Belize are having their talk about their personal views, why do you think Kushner decided to have them discuss politics at a time like this as opposed to discussing the seemingly intense state of Prior, someone they both hold in high regard? I also questioned why Kushner decided to have Louis elaborate on his political views to the extent that he did when the reader already had a clear sense of his strong character?
