Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? Edward Albee In Albee's play, he reveals the shallowness and meaninglessness of contemporary society, and exposes the falsity of "The American Dream". In doing this he refers to many different facets of society such as alcohol, social conventions, measures of success and corruption on a number of levels. Violence manifested in both language and action, reflect the frustration of the characters in not being able to live up to society's expectations. "The America Dream" is a life lived to, or close to, perfection. In brief, this perfect life is achieved by having a good education, go into a well paying career of which you enjoy, raising a family with the 2.5 children, and then finally dying in piece without ever having to look back on your life with disappointment. It is said that whoever has goals and sets them are capable of achieving them as long as they are willing to work hard for it. But "The American Dream" is just what is says, it is just a "Dream". It is a dream dreamt by many. An i!mmigrant coming to America or any western civilization has these dreams. The dream of being able to live a life of perfection, a life of freedom. Edward Albee takes this "American Dream" and conveys it in it's
But followers aren't always successful in the following of the blueprint. As long as more problems come into her life, instead of facing them head on, she quickly converts them to snugly fit into her own "reality". Not many people know that "The American Dream" require more than just pure effort. As the night continues, more and more do Nick and Honey learn just like how any teenager today would learn about life and society as it is today. They were married at a young age, and married for a non traditional reason. His steps should be followed directly and if so, there you have "The American Dream". Both Martha and George use !their son to get at each other's throats instead of having to do it directly. Nick and Honey represent the many young couples in today's society. Without the fact of being her father's daughter, Martha would have lived a very very poor and unhealthy life. As the play continues through the night, more of today's western society is implemented into this micro-society that Albee has created within the play. But Martha becomes so immensely involved in her "reality" that she has created which has combined true reality with hers that in the end, she has confused herself in that she is no longer to tell the difference between the true reality around her and the reality that she has created. He !shows "The American Dream" in it's true form and not as it has been put out to be. They know from what they have been told through their education but they still do not have knowledge from their own experience to life.
