1.) Overall impression: This scene was strange to read because all of their (Alice's and Henry's) emotions seemed to spill out all at once, making the story more complicated, by making everyone fight harder for the appeal while raising Henry's hopes and making the Pachuco vanish. (temporarily)
Act 2 Scene 7 pg 85
"Henry turns downstage, full of thoughts, he adressess El Pachuco who is nowhere to be seen. Henry: you were wrong ese ... There's is something to hope for. I know now we're going to win the appeal. Do you hear me ese? Ese!"
Here, Henry was trying to address El pachuco but he was nowhere to be found. With this excerpt you can tell that Henry's pachuco side is vanishing leaving only Henry to himself, without his "gangster" mind.
3.) Why is it that in act 2 scence's six and seven, the Pachuco raises his hands when he see's Henry? Is it that he is getting defeated in a way? (because in scene 6, he was left a helpless Aztec. In scene 7 Henry did'nt listen to El Pachuco and started feeling hopeful to his release from prison.)

I agree with you for the fact that all the emotions just came out at once. But in a way it was cute for me, but thats just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question i have no clue why he does raise his hand, i just thought about and its kinda strange. But all i can guess is that that's the pachuco ways of talking to henry with out saying a word to him.
