What's it about?
editCurrent article contains just one line on the play's plot and no discussion at all of themes or meaning. - Mcasey666 23:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, this excellent play/movie needs discussion of the themes, etc. Of course, one "negative" aspect of it (for lack of a better term) is the inevitable loss of Norman and/or Ethel which presumably comes soon after that summer. I mean, they realize at the end that its their last summer there together. This gives a decided melancholy air to the otherwise wonderful story line. One theme might be that "dying is a part of living" or some such - just a suggestion. Engr105th 20:32, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
On Golden Pond
editWhen was On Golden Pond written?
- I'm uncertain, but I believe the very late 60s or early 70s. I seem to recall it had been around a while before the movie... Engr105th 20:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
