Abstract

Albee's characters usually pay a high price in some interpersonal connections for their emotional distancing from others in his plays. So, behind the emotional distance of the modern man is desperation caused by the lack of a personal connection with his family. That is why these plays end with suicide, murder, and death, which are all metaphors. In order to demonstrate that the loss of human values and the negative attitude of the younger generation towards the older generation led to dramatic effects in American society, especially after World War II, this study uses Albee's The Sandbox to cast a matter of style on the family relationship..
