Question

Cliff and Allison relationship

Answer 1

Answer:

The plays written in the modern and post modern period throw a series of questions regarding the relationship shared between one another residing in and around the same house.

The most vivid among all relationships is the one shared by Alison and her husband Jimmy. Both are down to earth and ordinary persons, unafraid of showing their emotions. Jimmy's intrusion in Alison's life, his harrassing attitude, his cynicism and Alison's reluctance to understand Jimmy make the martial bond appear a mutual massacre. Both of them suffer in the isolation and the relationship verges on a breakdown. For Jimmy marriage is the most demanding, fulfilling and dehumanising of all relationships. He loves Alison, but she falls short for his expectation. His is vexed by her. His actual search is for love and spiritual companionship in marriage
