Irony is present within conversations in this play, even in the narrative. One example is; "Edward:I've got more than you have! Henry: Everyone does..." Considering what we learned about the meaning of huckleberries, which is what they are speaking of, The exact opposite might be true. Just another note, I find more of the huckleberry context to mean more considering what we deciphered. Also, when Williams is talking about going to Canada, to get as free as possible, its ironic that if he goes to Canada he will probably be extremely scrutinized there, more so than in the north.
Now, for the three most important characters. In my opinion, we have Henry, Waldo, and Lydian. Now to pick who would play each. For Henry, I would pick George Clooney. Based on what roles I have seen him play in other films, he would fit the role just fine. For Waldo, I truly don't know. If I think of someone later, I will edit. For Lydian I chose Anne Hathaway. I chose her based on similar reasons as for Clooney.
Was Henry's protest successful? In my opinion, no. He did eventually get out, but not on his terms. He wanted to leave with a victory, not on terms of someone else's pitying for him.
