IGNORANCE AS A COMPONENT OF OSBORNE’S VISION OF ANGER: PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The present study is undertaken to explore the very significant component of Osborne’s vision of Anger, that is, the phenomenon of ignorance. Ignorance has been the source of all human problems; personal as well as collective. These problems inflict pain to any mature observer who finds its way out in the form of anger. Osborne’s Look Back in Anger is an illustration of the reaction of such observations. This paper will trace the instances of the characters’ ignorance of socio-political and economic menace in the country, their ignorance of the perception of pain, their insensitivity, indifference and lack of curiosity which are also forms of ignorance. This research is intended to lead us to a conclusion, whether society’s ignorance is a reason for Osborne’s anger or not.
