I can use Helen Edmundson's comments to explore the contrast between Act 1 and Act 2.
Muuji qoraalka
Edmundson wanted a strong contrast between Act 1 and Act 2.
Act 1 is expansive, playful, and full of dreams, with direct address creating a story-like feel.
Act 2 brings characters “back to Earth” into a more disappointing and compromised reality.
Act 1 has a "fluidity" of movement, while Act 2 has structured, realistic spaces.
Direct address is removed in Act 2 (until the end) to reflect a more grounded, serious tone.
