2* ''The Blue Bird''. Dear God, ''The Blue Bird''. The implications of [[EverythingTalks everything having a soul]], including inanimate objects, are never addressed.[[note]]They'd have had to come up with something roughly analogous to how the spirits of inanimate objects are handled in UsefulNotes/{{Shinto}}.[[/note]] Also, the portrayal of the afterlife is simply horrifying on close examination-- the main characters visit what is essentially FluffyCloudHeaven to find all their dead relatives, most of whom, due to the era the play was written in, being their own siblings, who died when they were children. The horrific part comes in when one of their Dead Little Sisters, who died in infancy, appears, still as an infant. The implication is that she will remain a helpless baby for [[strike: all eternity]] as long as people remember her existence.
