Emily’s climactic speech is an example of  A- thematic development and B-figurative language.

Emily Webb , one of the characters of "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder, is dead and has come to the world of the living for a moment. The lines refer to some of her memories because she wishes to remember a typical day at Grover's Corner.

<u>Thematic developmen</u>t is present because she describes the same place ,cosy home, and the same routine , sleeping and waking up, following a sequence. Her description looks like a camera taking different close ups of the same place where the same routine is done. From <em>clocks</em> , she passes onto <em>food </em>and <em>coffee</em>; then she moves to <em>pressed clothes</em> and <em>hot baths</em> and finally to <em>sleeping</em> and <em>waking  up.</em>

<u>Figurative language</u> is also present ; the character uses imagery appealing to the sense of hearing : <em>clocks ticking; </em>she also appeals to the sense of sight: <em>Mama's sunflowers </em> and <em>new-ironed dresses</em>. The sense of feeling temperature is reflected: <em>hot bath. </em>Then, the character uses allusion when she says: "Oh, earth, you're too wonderful for anybody to realize you". She alludes to the living because they cannot appreciate the beauty of  being alive.
