Question

why was the man in Twenty MInutes with Mrs.Oakentubb going to Stainthorpe?

Answer 1

Answer:

Judy Oakentubb. She was held guilty of manslaughter and was sentenced to 18-month imprisonment but according to him it was a plain deliberate heartless murder. So, he was going to Stainthorpe in order to avenge the murder of his wife and daughter.

Answer 2

In the play, Twenty Minutes with Mrs. Oakentubb by Frank Arthur, the man was going to Stainthorpe to avenge the murder of his wife and daughter.

• The man thought that Mrs. Judy Oakentubb suffering from eighteen months of imprisonment is not enough. She was driving super fast and her car hit the man's wife and daughter, and they were killed in the accident. The fact that she was drunk, and driving fast to win a bet with one of her friends, led to this manslaughter incident. This was proof that what Mrs. Oakentubb did was not an 'accident', it was a 'pure form of heartless murder'.
  
• Thus, the man believed the lady should have been more punished for murdering his daughter and wife, and he believed that she should have faced death in the 'most painful way possible'.

Hence, the man went to Stainthorpe to get revenge on Mrs. Oakentubb for murdering his wife and daughter.
