Monroe: It's okay, Alma, it's okay. Really, Alma, it's okay.
Beauty, the Invisible Embrace:
"Imagination returns us to our native wildness, to the natural and seamless fluency of our own nature."
"[Imagination] never blasts us with information or numbs us with description. It coaxes us into a new situation."
"We find ourselves engaged in [Imagination]'s questions and possibilities, and new revelation dawns."
"We enter into the life of a character. Our empathy and our minds are engaged by the depth and complexity of the characters heart and by the quest of his mind for vision and meaning."
"Suggestion respects the mystery and richness of a thing. All it offers are clues to its nature."
The characters Ennis and Jack rail against their own harsh lives which keep them from one another, resisting and twisting away from their social restrictions. They yearn, instead, to be themselves in a world of natural beauty - a return to an idyllic state of innocence where their love has meaning and silent companionship is as revealing as any conversation. Here, joy is expressed freely. Here, sorrow, grief, and dissatisfaction are shared vocally while such discontent would be frowned upon by society's standards. Here, lovers can be unified without fear of reprisal, vengeance or punishment from a world of darker shadows. The inner light shines forth, unhidden and unburdened by the weight of society.
When the inner light is exposed, the complexity of heart and meaning of mind are made real. Every emotional vibration, no matter its perceived significance, strikes the chord of empathic hope. Every vision, the kaleidoscope of truth and life.
Monroe's thrice-spoken supplication of calmness, the invocation of peace, and the assurance of continual support unite in a manner most becoming of love. They suggest the beginnings of a romantic entendre, and mirror Jack's words to Ennis which do the same: ((It is here that I am referring to the controversially and continually debated second tent scene)) "'s allright. 's allright. 's allright." Both sets of thrice spoken supplications provide some spiritual support.
Monroe: The supplication of calmness, the invocation of peace, the assurance of continual support (As mentioned earlier).
Jack: Assurance of acceptance, invocation of peace, presentation of agreement.
