Look back the misogyny in Osborne’s anger

Abstract:

Anger can be a positive and useful emotion, if it is expressed appropriately. The outburst

of anger may has its origin from different contexts but Osborne had a dealing with the anger
of the past and the play is recounting the anger legacy of Jimmy. The dramatist was
successful in intersecting elements of his (Jimmy’s) working class agony into anger. The
protagonist, Jimmy is presented as an angry young man who becomes the victims of his own
disillusionment and despair. In the process of venting out Anger, the agonized child born out
of oppression had turned into arrogance. This working class anger has often been race-blind,
class-blind, and gender-blind resulting in short-sightedness in feminist, Marxist, and
ideological interpretations and the same happened in Osborne where he calls on apples to
Oranges. The aim of this writing is to derive out the elements which blinded the readers or
dramatist to look back the elements of toxic masculine arrogance in the name of working
class anger.

Key words : Misogyny, Working class, Anger
