Entry #8 - Talley's Folly - by Lanford Wilson

About Sally…

            As a young lady, Sally Talley was the poster child of the successful American family: beautiful, educated, and well behaved, which may be attributed to the family’s conservative values and high regards for social and business/professional status. She was raised in the Midwestern town of the Ozarks, where her family owned a large uniform factory. In her early 30’s, Sally is an independent, single woman, and though living in the same house as her relatives, she is isolated from them. Hunted by her inability to bear children, and as a cause, the rupture of the most promising business partnership her town might have witnessed, she finds herself an outcast in her own home. In spite of the negative connotations her name carries, at least in her parents’ house, Sally shows much desire to move forward and help others, as she shows by working as a nurse’s aide, and through her sporadic outings with her colleagues, with whom she plans rent a place.     

 About Matt…

            Matt Friedman is a sharp-witted accountant, living in St Louis, Missouri. His passions include the art of mimicry, an acute understanding of numbers, and great conviction for pursuing Sally. In the United States, Matt does his best to put his past behind him, but remains hunted by the death by torture of his young sister, and the torture and incarceration of his parents, both by French and German agents respectively. After fleeing Europe as a child, he reached the United States, and as an adult is a very observant man, realistic, and often sarcastic, who takes pride in being a logical thinking person, whose emotions rarely dictate his decisions. One aspect of his life which is dominated by his emotions and past experiences is the point of procreation. He has decided not to bring a child to the world, as he doubts there is anything but war and suffering in it. His love for Sally is another aspect of his life where his emotions remain totally committed.

 Their views…

            Sally and Matt’s views of life and world are quite different, yet they seem to be tied to each other in a very particular and interesting way. Matt’s passion for living in the moment, expressed through his impersonations and mimicry are contrasted by Sally’s dry sense of humor, and calculated way of doing things, for instance her savings plan. Her sense of awareness regarding social values and family life, contrasts Matt’s little desire to have children, although he lungs to marry Sally. In Matt we see a determination to detach himself from his roots by adopting different accents through mimicry, whereas Sally has not left her home town,  still lives with her parents, and plans to remain close by. Ultimately both have resolved to keep personal part of their lives at least from one another, which in fact does bring them together closer than any other single thing in their lives… their suffering brought by their respective painful losses, for example Sally cannot have children and is affraid Matt will not accept her for this, and Matt does not want to have any children and does fear Sally would demand family and children, should she accept him… perfect match!
