Almost forgot!

Although the end of the play was confusing, the last scene really emphasized the role of greek mythology, or greek language, in Translations. I think this scene was saved for last and addressed to the audience through Hugh for a reason.

Because it was saved for last, it is probable that this particular scene lingers on the mind of the reader after finishing the play. Personally, I tried really hard to figure out the importance this scene had and I came up with one theory. As stated before, Hugh was the character through which the greek story is told in the end of the play and he is also the character who takes so much pride in the old language. I feel as though this last scene is an example from Hugh. I didn't understand the scene clearly because I'm not well educated in Greek Mythology and its language- for it is a language of its own. But Hugh exemplifies the beauty of the language and the meaning it has to him. This language was preserved in books of mythology and history. Most importantly, mythology reflects a very important aspect of Greek culture. Although I don't understand the language well myself, the emphasis on this scene allowed me to understand Hugh's story in a different way- it was his way of saying that although communication may be lost, the beauty and meaning behind a language can live forever if you allow it.
