Answer to Question 1


  • As suggested above, the speeches of these witnesses and participants provide a basis for all of these conclusions, and no doubt for many others. How your students respond to this question should make for a passionate and illuminating class discussion.



Answer to Question 2


  • Even in this brief monologue, we see something of the complexity of the character of Twilight Bey. Though a member of the Crips gang, he is an idealist, one who helped to organize a gang truce at a time when others told him that it couldnt be done. Its hard not to consider his words conciliatory when he says:



I see the light as knowledge and the wisdom of the world and understanding others,
and in order for me to be a, to be a true human being,
I cant forever dwell in darkness, I cant forever dwell in the idea, of just identifying with people like me and understanding me and mine.
And if one does associate this speaker and his assumptions with the plays title, it helps to illuminate the rich ambiguity that emerges from the authors researches into her immensely complex subject: for all his desire to connect with a broader humanity, he associates the term Twilight with limbo, and several times in these few lines describes himself as stuck in limbo.
