Programme of study (changes)

In EDUCATING RITA, Willy Russell writes that "education gives you a choice"
There are several changes in Rita as a result of her choosing education.
Firstly, in her background and culture. After so many lessons, she seems not to belong to her background any more. For instance , when she went to a pub with her mother and her husband, at that moment, she realized that she was speding too much time there, so she decided to leave the place. That was one instance of her changes.
Secondly, there are changes in her personal circumstances, for example, in her job. She decided to quit and she got another job in a bistro, where she could have access to more intellectual people in her opinion. Besides, she got divorced from her husband and went to live with a friend. That was another instance of her changes.
Finally, her personality also changed, she behave in different way with people, she has chosen other topics in her conversations, she dressed up differently and she decided to visit different kinds of places, such as galeries related to culture.

Programme of study

EDUCATING RITA is a play about clash and culture. The play would be considered a "meeting" between two people.
On one hand, there is Rita, who belongs to a working class,adding that she doesn't know much about other cultures except her own and also she doesn't have enough systematic education. Her role in this meeting is teaching Frank her own knowledge about life in general.
On the other hand, there is Frank, who belongs to a middle class, he is a tutor so he knows about different subjects, especially literature. His role in this meeting is to promote educational values in his lessons.
All things considered, it would be said that they managed to learn from each other throughout the play, in spite of their differences.
