Educating Rita :: English Literature

Educating Rita.In the turn tail Educating Rita by Willy Russell we are lead to believethat in the first some scenes Rita and Frank have nonhing in common. Weassume this on a few sm all told functions like the way Rita talks. She is avery start going character who talks like a comm one and only(a)r. youd better necessitatethat bleadin handle fixed. She pig dresses in a shop and is not smart with the position she is in. She does not have practically interest inhair dressing and it does not feel that it is good enough for her. Shecould do much better. Frank on the other hand is a lecturer at theOpen University. He has a bad alcohol problem and that works there toget money for the booze. From what we gather he is not a very goodlecturer and is not really all that interested in the agate line, hardly themoney. He talks not in a posh accent but a smart center field score. Ritaperceives her job as a working class hairdresser to be a job that onlythe lowest of the lowest would d o. It is an unsatisfactory job thatdoes not for fill her dream of being a middle class woman. She has thepotential to go for what it is that she wants and luckily she knowsyou to motivate her self to do so. incomplete pawl nor Rita is reallyinterested in there jobs. They both just do it for the money. This iswhen we learn that they do have something and common they share thesame(p) out looks of there jobs.At the beginning of the play we hear frank talking-to his girlfriendJulia on the phone. She is complaining that he will not be home intime for diner and he is complaining that he wants to go down the pub.This is when we realise that frank is in an unstable descent withhis girlfriend. Due to Ritas nosey personality we find out that Frankwas one married but has split up from his wife. When Rita asks why hecomments it was because of literature. When really it was because ofhis drinking problem, if he is not careful the same thing will happento him again. Rita finds out that frank use to write numbers and thisis why him and his wife split up (or so frank says) Rita thence realisesthat she and frank have another thing in common they both have rockyrelationships. Unfortunately Ritas husband Denny has other ideasabout what Rita should do with her life.
