AMERICAN THEATRE: Obsessions fuel a writer’s most inspired and joyful prose, even when those obsessions are messy, ugly, painful. That’s certainly true of Margaret Atwood’s work. At the Goodman, performer Jennifer Morrison, known for her work on series House, Once Upon a Time, and film Warrior, lets that buoyancy of Atwood’s vision be her guide around the violent Trojan War.

This article was extremely inspiring. I don't think enough young people dream anymore. I remember when I was a child, I wanted to be everything. From an astronaut to president of the United States. People's dreams are less whimsical and challenging. Rather than people enjoying doing something, I think this generation's main problem is the media. It is all too comfortable and easily accessible, people look through a screen before letting their outside environments provoke them. Jennifer Morrison is a perfect example of someone who dreamed big. Morrison is especially special to me because of her connection to the writer Margret Atwood. Atwood speaks for women and a message to this corrupt society. Morrison aspired to be an actress/ performer and she accomplished this while also sending a message. I think this is what is so important about expressionism– the ability to be challenged in a shallow sense, but it also pushes you to make a statement and help better other perceptions of reality.
