The World Is an Apple

The play “The World is an Apple” is one of the most famous Filipino play by famed playwright, Alberto S. Florentino. In the story, it was shown how the main character Mario was forced to choose a path that he has long promised to not walk through again because of poverty. The story shows one sad reality of life that when an individual was backed up on a wall, he will do anything even if it’s not accepted in his society.
The scenario of the story is not far from what’s happening with members of our society now that due to limited educational attainment that would qualify them for a proper-paying job that would be adequate for their families’ needs. The sequence of the story and the technical aspect of the play should be commended. This has shown what Florentino is capable of. It’s as if that the fluidity of the dialogues used in the play could have no fault and it came freely out from the playwright’s mind into the sheets he spread out in front of him.
It’s no wonder that the play ” The World is an Apple” is still one of the most used plays in the Philippines. This is a story of how wrong decisions become greater burdens to a family. Mario’s family happens to be in the lower bracket of society. He cannot even provide for his family’s basic needs. Albeit all this hardships, his wife Gloria, still manages to keep her good virtuous. She insists that the way they are living is a much better than the one they will have if they do wrong acts. But Gloria’s entire constant reminder to Mario did not prosper.Mario decided to come back to his old life of crime when he lost his job when he tried to steal an apple for his daughter. He keeps on insisting that his priority is to provide what his wife and daughter needs. He left with Pablo, his old crime buddy, even if Gloria pleaded very hard for him not to go with the man. This is a sad representation of what is happening in the society today. Due to lack of better opportunities to heighten one’s standard of living, some become entangled with the wrong crowd. By doing so, these individuals do not help their family at all; instead, they end up worsening their family’s problem.
It is man’s basic instinct that drives him towards his survival. But, no matter what, he should not forget that society expects him to conform to its norms. One’s action is weighed right or wrong and thus should be kept towards the proper action. Another User Said: “This is a story of how wrong decisions become greater burdens to a family.
