It mainly focuses on Brick, the major character of the drama, who fails to make his life meaningful. He is completely indifferent towards his wife and parents. He wants to avoid the reality by drinking alcohol all the time. Williams has shown him as a character, frustrated, depressed and unsatisfied with everything and with every relationship in his life. Throughout the whole drama, Brick is just showing nihilistic attitudes. It is not only him, all other members of his family involve in futile effort of making their life coherent and meaningful. They are directly or indirectly living a nihilistic life. In addition, the setting of the play and the costumes of the characters reflect nihilistic perspective of human life.Item Closing the Gap: Potential Contribution of Social Assistance for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals(2017-07) ADB; Handayani, Sri Wening; Gassmann, FranziskaItem How Women Have Fared with the Rise of the People’s Republic of China in Global Supply Chain Trade(2017-07) ADB; Wang, Limin; Kanji, Shireen; Jha, Shikha; Meurs, MiekeItem Involuntary Resettlement and Sustainable Development: Conceptual Framework, Reservoir Resettlement Policies, and Experience of the Yudongxia Reservoir(2017-07) ADB; Sapkota, Nogendra; Ferguson, ScottItem Travel Demand Management Options in Beijing(2017-07) ADBItem Pacific Economic Monitor - July 2017(2017-07) ADBItem Intellectual Property Rights and Foreign Technology Licensing in Developing Countries: An Empirical Investigation(2017-07) ADB; Gentile, Elisabetta
