Analysis the Zoo Story

A. Character and characterization

1. Peter:
Peter is a middle-class publishing executive with a wife, two daughters, two cats and two parakeets who lives in ignorance of the world outside his settled life.

2. Jerry:
Jerry is an isolated and disheartened man who lives in a boarding house and is very troubled.

B. Setting:

1. Place: New York's Central Park Zoo.

2. Time: on a sunny afternoon.

C. Plot:

While Peter is reading a book on a bench in Central Park, he is interrupted by Jerry, a total stranger, who announces that he has just been to the zoo. Anxious to return to his reading, Peter reacts with merely vague interest and lights his pipe, but he is immediately made uncomfortable by Jerry’s queries about his marital status, children, work, and menage of cats and parakeets. After repeating that he has been to the zoo and that Peter will read about it in the papers the next day if he does not see it on television that very night, Jerry follows several digressions about sociological class distinctions, literary tastes, and his daylong wanderings. Peter is embarrassed to hear these sordid details. Jerry says that, unlike Peter, he owns little except for toilet articles, pornographic playing cards, eight or nine books, cutlery, empty picture frames, an old Western Union typewriter that prints nothing but capital letters, and a small box containing letters and some sea-rounded rocks that he picked up on a beach when he was a boy. Jerry confides that his relationships with women are limited to solitary encounters with prostitutes and that his only love affair was a brief one, at age fifteen, with a Greek boy. Then he launches into a long monologue about his disgusting, lusty, alcoholic landlady and her ugly, savage black dog that attacked Jerry daily whenever he tried to enter the rooming house, although he attempted to pacify it by feeding it hamburger for six days. On the seventh day, he poisoned the meat, and the dog fell extremely ill. Strangely, Jerry no longer wanted the dog to die; he had come to believe that if he could somehow make contact with the dog, he could then make contact with people. From then on, Jerry and the dog lapsed into mutual indifference. Jerry claims to have learned from this misadventure that kindness and cruelty, like other conflicting emotions, are the reality of being. Grotesquely exhausted at the end of the story, Jerry sits down on the bench beside Peter and sees that he has annoyed and confused Peter instead of making a breakthrough in communication. Suddenly playful, he tickles Peter’s ribs, driving Peter into almost hysterical laughter. He pokes Peter, then punches him in the arm and forces him to move down the bench. Easily goaded by Jerry’s insults to his manhood, Peter decides to fight for the bench, but when Jerry clicks open a knife and tosses it at him, Peter refuses to pick it up. Jerry rushes over, grabs him by the collar, slaps him, spits on his face, and forces Peter to dart for the knife. Then, sighing heavily, Jerry charges Peter and impales himself on the knife. As Jerry crumbles back onto the bench, with his eyes and mouth wide in agony, his voice acquires an eerie remoteness. Peter is transfixed as Jerry, with faint laughter, tries to summarize in broken, disjointed sentences his knowledge of his own actions. The world, he has found, is a zoo, and he thanks Peter for ending his anguished life. Slowly wiping clean the knife handle with his own handkerchief, Jerry urges Peter to hurry away.


D. Point of View:

The point of view is the third person. Narrator is not involved in this drama. The narrator is just telling the story.

E. Themes:

The first theme used within this story is isolation. Regardless of who you are, most people have felt isolation at one point in time during their life. Jerry feels isolated from the world because he has no one to turn to or talk to. No one really knows if he chooses to be like this or not though. Jerry’s isolation keeps him from communicating with other people while he lives by himself in a room in a 4-story boarding house. Jerry could have isolated himself from everyone else as a defensive trait.

The second theme is social outcast. Jerry himself is a social outcast. Jerry feels that he is portrayed as being rejected by society, even though it is him that chooses to reject himself from society. In turn Jerry is being a loner instead of being a social outcast that is portrayed as the theme of the play. Jerry explains his life to a random man sitting on a park bench. He explains to Peter, the man on the bench, about his life by starting a conversation about what has happened at the zoo in order to talk to Peter.

F. Conclusion:

The conclusion of comic drama is representing the relationship between man versus society.

Situation
The conversation is taken from “Paa” movie. It is the conversation between two speakers by using teleconference (web call media). The situations are, Amol who have a mistake for Auro before, want to give substitution to Auro to go to president’s house. Furthermore through this web call Auro ask Amol to fulfill his promise to go to president’s house and he gets it. Then they are talking about their plan.
Analysis
The participants of the conversation are: Auro, the students of Elementary school and Amol, young politics man who respected by society around him.
The characteristic of Auro in the conversation is clever, indecency, insolent, certain and he is also like to mock someone with his word. His indecency is on 2nd and 4th utterances. He doesn’t want to decency with Amol, but he just want to the point. His insolent showed on 6th, 8th and 16th utterance. He still in Elementary school but he fell has more responsibility than Amol. Auro is also certain person such as in 6th, 8th and 10th utterance, “Exact date, please” shows his certainty. In 4th and 16th utterance show Auro’s mocking to Amol, the word “so?” and “I am 12. I don’t have a single bodyguard” emphasized his mocking.
The characteristic of Amol in the conversation is uncomforting man because he has circumstances with Auro before and he try to change it. It showed in 3rd and 7th utterance. Second characteristic of Amol is patient. It showed on the way he said his word patiently. He is also uncertain person such as in 5th, 7th and 9th utterance. On the 5th utterance he said go to Delhi next week and 10th date, but he change it with 11th date after Auro wants a certain decision.
The patterns or adjacency pairs in the conversation are:
1. Invitation.
Amol invite Auro to go to president’s house. Auro accept it but indirectly. He doesn’t say “yes” but with another fragment like “Exact date, please. I have to plan.”



2. Offering
In 6th and 8th utterance Auro offer Amol to give certain date when they goes to president house. Amol has a hesitation with that certain date, but finally he take 11th to go to president’s house.
In 18th utterance, Auro said “I’m sleepy, now I will sleep” means that Auro offer to get finish and close their web call. Amol appreciate it by saying “alright, sleep well”, 19th utterance.

Some utterance of this conversation has certain function. For example: the 1st utterance is Amol’s greeting by asking Auro’s condition “Hey, what’s up? What are you doing?”, but in 2nd utterance Auro doesn’t answer it and he just answer with another question “President’s house, when?” and there is no cohesion between 1st utterance and 2nd utterance. It means that Auro won’t to discuss about his condition, he just want discuss about when they go to president’s house.
