The chapter Emotions seemed to be a kind of repeat of other chapters. False emotions are a bad thing. We don't like it in our day to day lives when people smile to big or over express their sadness (although many are guilty of this on a daily bases) nor do we like to see it one stage. Then Mamet again calls emotion memory and sense memory paint by numbers. Then again he goes on about how you don't need school and it will not teach you these things. You must learn from the stage. Yes we got this in previous chapters I think we get it.
Now I may be interpreting this wrong but the idea of a "punch line" sounds a awful lot like a through-line as I believe it was called. I am again experiencing flashbacks. It does however kind of work if you think of a "punch line" scene by scene rather than a "punch line" for the whole play. To be honest I am really confused.
