Love! Valour! Compassion!

Love! Valour! Compassion! is structured and have choices that changes the worldview compared to other plays that we have read. McNally's choice of secluding the men in a lake house away for the city shows that the decision of who to love it between the person who they love, and not the standards of the world. In The Children's Hour Martha and Karen were accused of something that wasn't accepted at the time.The choice of making the men all gay shows that same sex relationships are a little more accepted within the same sex community, than compared to the worldview of The Children's Hour. There is a struggle that faces the same sex community which is AIDS. The struggle that is faced in The Children's Hours is a person's reputation. The structure of the play is non-linear. The timeline does not go in chronological order. McNally's choice can translate into that there is a change in how the order of this worldview has changed. Another choice that McNally made to reflect the worldview is having the men confess their fears about themselves in Act Three. This reflects that the wellbeing of same sex couples is important than the loss of a life which is seen in The Children's Hour.
