Description

This study begins with an examination of the “archi-pattern” of the Prodigal Son, then analyses the analogies and differences between this “archi-pattern” and its post-figuration in modern dramatic discourse as influenced by changes in the socio-cultural code. Six modern plays are represented: Ibsen’s Ghosts, O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night, Miller’s Death of a Salesman, Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Pinter’s The Homecoming, and Shepard’s Buried Child.
