Im afraid of MarthAAAAA!


Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf is my one favorite plays!. The plot is risky and fun, while keeping my mind in constant wonder and suspense for things to become clarified and the constant arrangements arguments. Also, the dialogue is extremely well thought out and written. With each character revealing each other's personal information, and always telling each other about their spouses/affairs darkest secrets. I feel that Martha and George's relationship is one of the main points of the play, and the one that I find myself attracted to the most. This play is filled with sarcasm, sex and alcohol all three giving this play a little touch that revolutionized the theatre in this generation onward.  Ithought it was extremely odd how Martha and George had an imaginary son, that they eventually had to kill off leaving martha so dependent of George in the end. I thought that Nick played a great roll also, showing how people use other people to climb in social, and profesionall statuses. Overall, the play was easy and enjoyable to read. In addition, I found that each act having its own tytle was very inventing and a good little quirk to the play, it not only gave a preview to the act but it also gave a highlight of the most important concept of the act.

  1. I definitely agree that I couldn't take my attention off of george and martha's relationship. It was weird that they made of their son and I can't quite grasp the reason behind it. I enjoyed the play also just because it was risky and fun. It had no limits and I respect that.
