It is ab allow on a adult female called Rita who feels her life is not fulfilled so she goes to andiron who works at an centripetal University to tutor her. Rita has a husband called Denny. He is working screen out and has never been to university, like Rita before she goes to she Frank. Frank on the other generate is a lecturer of literature but does not have everything. He is unhappy at home and is often drunk at his tutorials. The audiences early impression of Frank is that he likes a drink (or two) because in the runner scene he is looking for his hidden bottle of whisky. We know slap-up away that he is a heavy drunk. We only hear Frank talking on the tele telecommunicate with his partner, Julie. Frank doesnt treat Julie with any respect. He has no intension of going home for tea, he would much favour to get drunk at the pub. After putting down the phone Frank says yes thats it you go and put your head in the oven. This shows frank has no feelings for her. Frank works in a university but also tutors for the Open University. Franks wife has quite a few friends but frank doesnt because he is always out at the pub. Frank uses clever words and negotiation in an intellectual manner. When Rita looks at the take to and says thats a nice picture frank thinks it is a distant thing to notice because he has never really noticed it. Actually I dont think Ive noticed it in about 10 years. Frank feels it is a very strange thing to talk about. He takes his surroundings for granted, For example the window I dont often consider it actually and jokes about throwing a student out of it. I think Frank likes and respects Rita because he said, Would you like to hook on it meaning the book. He also must have had respect for her to let her come to his dinner party.
