    I'm afraid my version of the play doesn't have a scene 5 in Act IV, but as for Act V, Lenato explores and explains the pain of love there. To be specific, he articulates just how painful it is to lose someone you love, just how much he loved his daughter, and just how useless rational advice, however well-meant, is at times like those. In his later challenge of the younger men, he shows that this pain can drive men past their habitual limits, taking them into new areas of bravery and action.
