| Article Name : | | | JIMMY PORTER- IS THE VOICE OF OSBORNE’S DISSATISFACTION WITH HISCONTEMPORYSOCIETY? | | Author Name : | | | Sangeeta | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-5319 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | “Look Back in Anger” received an overwhelming response from the audience when it was first produced. It appealed to the audience because of the realistic subject matter. A substantial body of critical and popular opinion has subscribed to the view that Jimmy is a self-portrait of Osborne himself. Jimmy shares the same kind of anger as Osborne has his roots in a similar social-economic background, and has watched his father die at attender age. Jimmy also reflects Osborne’s disillusionment with contemporary British society and serves as his mouthpiece in denouncing the church, the Royalty, the Government, the Upper Class, and traditional morality. Jimmy also embodies Osborne’s detriment of the English notion of the stiff-upper lip, of detachment and apathy, of lack of enthusiasm. | | Keywords : | | - Socio-economic status and education,
