During the time period of 1800 to 1900, men and women faced different circumstances in ma
iage in comparison to the women and men in the twenty first century. In the recent times, women and men fall in love first and then chose to ma
y their partners, thus causing less problems in ma
iage. The literary pieces written during the time period of 1800 to 1900 provide the audience with the scenario that ma
iages were mostly a
anged and hence couples were not able to achieve wedded bliss. This essay would incorporate an analysis of the theme of unhappy ma
iages that Is common in the plays- “A Raisin in the Sun” and “Clybourne Park.”A common theme in both the plays is unhappy ma
iages as needs of the spouses are not fulfilled.
The emotions and psychology of the characters portray distress in ma
iage. In the play, “The Raisin in the Sun”, Lo
aine Hansbe
y portrays its characters in such a way that it defines that theme of unhappy ma
iage. Ruth is shown to be as a thoughtful and a calm person who would act in every possible way in order to keep her family happy. She even considered the act of abortion so as to please her husband Walter as Ruth understands that Young family does not have the financial capacity to take the burden of another child. Ruth realizes that she is not able to cater to the needs of her husband and struggles in the ma

So he aspires to become a wealthy person by investing the sum of money he received from his mother`s insurance in opening a liquor shop. But he feels that his wife does not support his ambitions and aspirations ad feels that his needs are neglected by Ruth. It can be seen in the play that the writer uses the dialogues in such a way that it develops the theme of unhappy ma
iage. “Honey, you never say nothing new. I listen to you every day, every night and every morning, and you never say nothing new. (Shrugging) So you would rather be Mr. Arnold than be his chauffeur. So – I would rather be living in Buckingham Palace”, says Ruth wearily which portrays that she is tired of Walter`s obsession about wealth which would never happen in reality (Hansbe
y). Ruth had her own set of needs and dreams as she wished to live in a house that was better than what she is cu
ently residing in. But as her needs were not fulfilled by her husband, she suffers in the ma
iage.
In the play “Clybourne Park” written by playwright Bruce No
is, the psychology of the characters named Russ and Bev Stoller is used to show that their ma
iage is falling apart. Russ has become mentally unstable as his son committed because of being accused of murdering after returning from the Korean War. In...
