Character Growth Of Emily Webb

"Our Town" was a very short play and it was hard to identify character growths, so the only character growth I noticed was in one of the main characters, Emily Webb. In the play Emily started out as a young girl just going through every day life but in the second act she transforms into a woman/wife/mother. After becoming a woman Emily did not show what she appreciated in life until it was gone. In the last act, Emily died and this act discussed Emily's thoughts after life was gone. She learned that she did not appreciate life when she was younger and now that its gone she wished she had. She discovered that no person can ever appreciate life to its fullest or understand what it really is. This is the only character growth I saw in this play.
