The Birthday party
The Birthday party is
“a deeply political play about the individual’s imperative need for resistance.”
If we refer to the character’s of The Birthday Party we come to know about political minds and politics of power in this.
We come to know that how politics has affected on every individual’s life and the ill-treatment of an individual.
If we refer to character of Lulu:
She is Symbol of inspiration of an artist. One of the two strangers seduced her, symbolically represents the torture inflicted on Stanley the artist.
She may also be a symbol of women being used as too or toy for pleasure by man.
Stanely Webber was a potagonist , an artist,and his ill treatment was mentiond her.
Meg told Petey to read newspaper loudly, it shows that power is in hand of men.And women are marginalised character. Pet ey his act of reading newspaper it also suggest that he is hiding himself, or we can say is weakness and impotentness. Not able to help Stanley.
.
PLIGHT OF AN ARTIST
is presented here
He is an artist who had rebelled against the mode of life which society tries to impose upon its members but the pressures of society make the artist conform to the prevailing social manners and mores.
Society could not tolerate the free – thinking individualistic artist because it saw him as a threat to its own stability.
Society symbolise by Nat and McCann and they have destroyed the artist’s individuality. And at last we saw him dressed in suit and clean, collared shirt. He appears defeated and docile.
