Abstract
Edward Albee's drama "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" shows the existence
of human life in the modern society. Human life is the futile, there is no meaning of
human life; all the human beings struggle for their betterment of life, but everything
goes in vain and they get nothing, no value of life. Martha and George characters in
this play seek their identity. They want their own child for their scene future but
unfortunately they don't have. So, to fulfill the desire of own child they create an
imaginary son. Any parents desire for their own issue which provides them
satisfaction, in this drama also the main characters desire for their own issue to run
their dynasty forever, so they are seeking their identity in this modern world.
