What i didn't like about the play!

Although the play was a very funny and interesting piece of literature, there is something I did not like as much. What I didn’t really like about this book is how in act 2 all the characters change all their names and left it up to the readers to sort of guess which ones which. Some characters were easier to point out than others such as, Pocahontas turns into Sally. It was obvious because she is the only female mentioned in the book. Or when Old Lodge Skins turns into John, it was obvious because John, in act 2, was saying how he waited his whole life to be young again. Therefore meaning that he was always the eldest, which lead to me guessing that John must have been Old Lodge Skins in act 1. I also think that there could have been a better ending to the play because in the closing scene it becomes quite clear that another change is going to happen. The lights go out and with the dead white writer, maybe still alive, everything could be changed again. But the writing failed to leave the readers with much curiosity as to what new characters will become of them this time.  I believe it is because when the characters changed the first time it wasn’t much of an exciting moment in the book.
