Though it's potentially revealing in regards to the mindset of someone with suicidal thoughts and the play cleverly twists conventions by making it unclear whether she's talking with a doctor or to herself, the way in which the play was structured made it a slight challenge to fully engage with it. It reads more like a long poem. One could certainly argue however that was the point of the piece given how it can be looked at as Kane's real-life suicide note.
It is one of the few books I've read that captures the pain of mental illness, and I'd be curious to see how directors would adopt this as a theatre piece considering there are no stage directions given
