THEMES

  • Appearances versus reality

    – The main character in this play-Towers Chandler-dresses like a rich man and dines at an expensive restaurant. In reality he is just a wage earner.

    – Chandler meets Marian who is wearing an old hat and a cheap coat. He thinks she is just as shop girl. In reality, Marian is from a rich family with a maid and chauffeur.

  • The importance of character

    – Marian is a from a rich family, and she she is expected to marry someone equally rich. However, she feels that she can only love a man who does some kind of work, and not a rich loafer.

    – If Chandler had been truthful with Marian, she would let herself fall in love with him. Unfortunately, Chandler’s dishonesty causes them to miss the chance of true love.

  • Foolishness and egoism - As both Chandler and Marian feel attraction to each other, they do not want to be honest and keep on playing the lives that they claim to live. - Both of them are too ego to admit their true identities, thus making them miss the opportunity to have true love.
