The lesson 'Dear
Departed' focuses on the family values that are dwindling fast in the society. Materialism
has so much affected the modern man's life that even the
respectful relationship between father and daughters has become tainted
with it. The lesson highlights this aspect of the tainted relationship with
unmatched craftsmanship by weaving a wonderful and absorbing sequence of events. The poetic justice at
the end is the real mastery of the playwright. Abel's vengeful response
to the selfish daughters leaves them stupefied and stunned. They are left
penitent and remorseful for their meanness. Thus the theme of the play quite interesting and edifying!

It is a pungent satire on the moral degradation of British middle-class society. The two sister, Mrs. Slater and Mrs. Jordan, are so mean and materialistic that instead. Of mourning over their father’s death, they planned to divide his belongings. When the old man says that ,He will , ’leaving all his bit of thing to whomsoever, he living with when he dies’ , they at once change their attitude and offer to have their father with them.
