ESSAY ON: William Inge's "Picnic"

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: 6 pages in length. William Inge's play Picnic portrays small-town life as equal in drama and sophistication to the city. Often seen as quiet and pastoral, dealing with the seemingly monumental issues of an otherwise laid back existence, there is, however, another side of this story: dealing with conflict between human beings. The exact manner in which Inge reveals this conflict is an integral component to the playwright's overall mystique, utilizing what only looks like a simple, unaffected community and turn it into something just as cosmopolitan as New York City. At first, one may not plainly recognize Inge's deeper assertions beyond his telltale quiet and pastoral direction; however, there is no denying the fact that the undercurrent of human conflict is more than apparent – and more times than not the characters are in conflict with themselves. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
