My understanding of the play has changed a lot since I first read it. Both the group reading and the dramatic reading have expanded my understanding of the play and what I think about it. To see how other people interpret the characters is also helpful because it allows you to bring in new ideas when you interpret the character yourself. I also think that me trying to represent a character also helps a lot to make me understand him better and have a better idea of what he looks like, how he speaks and how he acts. This is all very useful because it allows you to better portray the character.
