The audition sees nick as an image of young pride, unblemished, acrobatic whose very life is dedicated to eliminating the im amendions in military man genes, except is himself revealed as flawed in the play.\r\nThe early days pair Nick and Honey are presented as ‘’passive observers. They serve solely as the objects of utilization’’. George and Martha simply use the younger, slight experienced couple to manoeuvre for advantage in their own bitter struggle. This is further shown in act two by George when he states, ‘’I’ll tell you what game we’ll play. We’re done with humiliate the hosts… how about a small-minded game of set the guests?” George attempts to regain power which is an current theme in the play by humiliating nick and dearest.

[…] It was a hysterical pregnancy. She blew up, and then she went down’’. Additionally Nick, the perfect model of a new faculty member, is or else easily seduced by Martha, â€Å"That’s right, lunkhead; resolving the door…or are you too drunk to do that, too?

Not only is he presented in part as an on-stage audience for George and Martha, he also exposes the falseness of â€Å"The American Dream’’ done his relationship with honey. As the perfect image of Nick and Honey crumbles, the final idealization of marriage and family also collapses. Edward Albee suggests that people in America are donjon in an illusion to which they hold on affectionately to avoid facing the reality of a perfect marriage, children, wealth, success, education and religion, All of which compromise the American woolgather and hence Albee attacks and mocks this idea in the play which is revealed by the main characters to the audience.\r\n'
