The Fan and the Flower

Setting: At the old house, today.

 

Main Character: A fan with light bulbs which is attached to the ceiling and a potted flower.

 

Conflict: The fan and the flower vs. the gap between the two. (Distance, kind, and culture.)

 

Climax: When the fan breaks the ceiling and is blew away far beyond.

 

Symbol:

1. The gap between the two which comes from the different background.

2. The all-out effort which is without the hope of getting something in return.

 

Irony:

1. Everything has to obey the laws of nature eventually. The lady, who is the owner of a house, gets old and becomes forgetful. The fan is broken because it works too hard and is blown away by the strong wind. The flower dies without water.

2. Both the fan and the flower make great efforts to come near, however, they cannot get close to till the end.

 

Theme:

1. Even if we cannot communicate with by using language, or have completely different background, sincere attitude and genuine affection would beyond the words.

2. Even though it is different from what we wish, the true hope would finally have taken shape in a certain form.
