落幕
The Blue Bird is a typical full-length play, which means it has several acts and each act is composed of several scenes. The whole play depicts actions that take place over a long period of time. Various characters appear in different acts and scenes, and the settings and costumes change accordingly. The running time of a full-length play can last for several hours, even days.
ACT IV SCENE II-The Palace of Happiness
Characters
Tyltyl, (Mytyl,) a troop of Happinesses,
the (chief) Happiness
Setting
Tyltyl and Mytyl have been searching for the Blue Bird in the Land of Memory, the Palace of Night and the Forest. Now they have arrived at the Palace of Happiness. A troop of Happinesses rush into the hall and speak to them.
Plot
The children come to the Palace of Happiness and are welcomed by a troop of Happinesses...
The children do not recognise them, but the Happinesses tell them that they are the only things the children know and they are all around them. Tyltyl wonders whether there are Happinesses in his home, and at this moment, all the Happinesses burst out laughing. The chief of the Happinesses tells him that his home is filled with Happinesses. The chief introduces himself to Tyltyl as the Happiness of Being Well, and then introduces him to other Happinesses: of Pure Air, of Loving One’s Parents, of the Blue Sky and of the Forest. Tyltyl just wants to ask the Happinesses one thing: the whereabouts of the Blue Bird.

ACT VI SCENE II-The Awakending
Characters
Tyltyl, (Mytyl,) Mummy Tyl, the neighbour Berlingot, the little girl
Setting
Unable to find the Blue Bird anywhere, the children return home. While they are trying to tell their parents about their adventures, their neighbour comes in. She is asking for Tyltyl’s bird for her sick little girl.
Plot
The children return home without finding the Blue Bird...
The neighbour Berlingot, a little old woman,enters Tyltyl’s home, leaning on a stick.
Berlingot is telling Mummy Tyl that Tyltyl’s bird is the one thing that will cure her sick daughter.Tyltyl then sees that his bird is blue – much bluer than when he went away.
Tyltyl gives his bird to his neighbour.
…
The little girl comes along and thanks Tyltyl, but as Tyltyl goes to take the bird to show the little girl how to feed him, the bird flies away.
The little girl lets out a cry of despair. Tyltyl comforts her and turns to the audience. He asks the audience to return the Blue Bird if they see him, for the bird is needed for their future happiness.
Why does the Blue Bird fly away in the end
Happiness, just like the Blue Bird, can not stay with us forever. It might disappear if we don’t value it. It may be lost but it can be found again. So we should cherish happiness and keep pursuing happiness.
Now work in groups and talk about how much you like the play. Give your reasons.
Why cannot Tyltyl recognise any of the Happinesses
Are there any Happinesses in your home What are they Where else can you find them
What does the author want to express by making the Blue Bird fly away at the end of the play
What different life lessons can you learn from the two reading passages in this unit
Why cannot Tyltyl recognise any of the Happinesses
Are there any Happinesses in your home What are they Where else can you find them
Because he doesn’t realise the fact that the Happinesses are all around him in his home.
Yes, there are. They are Happiness of being well, Happiness of being in a nice family, Happiness of being loved by my parents..., I can find Happiness of being well at school.
What does the author want to express by making the Blue Bird fly away at the end of the play
By making the Blue Bird fly away at the end of the play, the author wants to tell us great happiness is not based on material things, but a more meaningful, spiritual joy and that giving and sharing sometimes mean the true happiness.
What different life lessons can you learn from the two reading passages in this unit
From the first reading passage Tuesdays with Morrie, I have learnt that we should appreciate what we have and make the most of each day; it’s up to us to find out what is important in our lives and establish our own dreams; love each other as much as we could.
From the second reading passage The Blue Bird I’ve got that great happiness is not based on material things, but a more meaningful, spiritual joy.
Post-reading
Work in groups and act out the play.
Read the play again and discuss how you might present it on stage. Consider the following:
Plot–Is there anything you will cut from, or add to the play
Setting–What costumes and props will you need
Roles–Will you need a narrator to give the background to the play and introduce the new scenes
Language–Will you revise the language to make it easier to remember
Adapt the play based on your discussion. You may refer to the original play for more ideas if necessary.
Decide roles for each group member and practise performing the play.
Act out the play in class.
Happiness
is always
around you!
