Close reading issues: any ideas in play overlooked, misinterpreted, etc?
Be careful that almost everything in this play matters, and is connected to other things, but is said indirectly. It will be very hard to discuss Whitemore’s view of Turing’s suicide without discussing most of the play. For example, part of the reason his view is deeper than the stock “Turing was driven to suicide by an uncaring society” is shown through the string of relationships with other people and places (Morcom, Pat, Bletchley Park, his mother, various lovers) that Turing has, and each relationship shows something different about Turing.
