| dc.description.abstract | This paper aims to analyze the effects of the capitalist system on individuals belonging to the working class in the Fool (1975) by Edward Bond. In the play, the capitalist system is portrayed as cruel because it deprives the individual from their basic needs such as dignity or freedom and as unequal because it makes a class superior to another one. For instance, while working class people cannot even have bread to eat, the parson has a silver pen and gold in his pocket. This wide gap between the two classes brings about inequality, class conflict and dehumanization observed in a capitalist society. This explains the reason why the individuals in the play feel alienated and ineffective. In addition, church and hospital as representatives of social institutions in society will be studied to reflect the fact that how they preserve the interests of the ruling class. The paper will conclude that individuals in the play will survive either by resorting to violence as in the case of Darkie, complying with system as in the case of Patty or revolting against the system as in the case of Clare. | en_US |
