Thoughts on Thom Pain

During the play I thought the character seemed to be imaginative when he started to tell his audience to imagine things like birds or something on fire or anything. I was confused on what was really going on in the play. The character also sounded like he had this non caring attitude when he said to imagine all those things and the go F- yourself to the audience. I think he was trying to be funny and wanted his audience to laugh. He really speaks his mind as the character in the play and he doesn't seem to care what his audience thinks.
