Perestroika Act III & Spring and Fall

My interpretation of Spring and Fall with Act III of Perestroika was that Prior and Harper’s struggle with reality and fantasy can be interpreted through Spring and Fall. Spring is their escape from reality because it is a lively place, filled with beautiful blossoming trees. While Fall is the reality they cannot escape, where the ugly truth is experienced through the decaying and death of these once beautiful trees. Spring represents to me the beautiful life they once lived before the horrific truth of Fall ruined that world for them.
