This monograph is a short analysis of Edward Albee s
evergreen drama, Who s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Albee creates a contrast between two married
couples, but he also gives and insight into the
contemporary American society. Illusion, passion,
hatred all these feelings are highlighted in this
play,. Albee, though, lets a little door open for
his protagonists, George and Martha, to give them a
chance to rebuild their ruined relationship. The
concept of love is difficult to find between these
two characters, but yet it is still there, hiding.
The aim of this paper is to shed light on the
complicated connection George and Martha have. Their
past plays an important role in their present life.
They cherish an illusion and neither of them is
brave enough to face reality. The play reveals their
weaknesses but still, they are more dominant than
the other couple, Nick and Honey.
This play has always run with full houses in the
theatres because its moral is still valid. The
audience consciously or not can recognize their
own life to a certain extent through the actions and
powerful conversations.
