Ayckbourn's Short Plays and Themes of Isolation and Loneliness

Eckbourne's short story, solitude and loneliness are isolated, and solitude is a common theme of Eckburn's three short play. It has varying degrees of appearance in MF, DC and TP, but there is always a problem / topic in all games. From the first page of MF, Lucy has a strong image from the outside world. "She lifted the receiver soon and replaced it." "The door rang again. Lucy ignored it." Lucy left himself from the door why she neglected the phone in the next game.

Loneliness and social isolation are completely different concepts. Individuals can become lonely without isolation from society, experience loneliness and loneliness, or can be isolated to society without feeling lonely. One of the most widely used definitions is a subjective negative context relating to the recognition of loneliness to the lack of a wider social network (social isolation) or the lack of a specific desired partner (emotional loneliness) I regard it as an emotion. There is much less consensus on how to define social isolation. Many studies define social isolation as lack of objective social connections or interactions with families, friends, or a wider community, and regard it as a single concept. Another multidimensional definition already contains the quality and quantity of the relationship - solitude falls under the subjective element of social isolation.

Social isolation and loneliness are not exactly the same, but these terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Social isolation is an objective condition that occurs when a person has no opportunity to interact with others. An expert at McMaster University in Toronto states, "Loneliness is a painful subjective experience of having insufficient social relationships or insufficient relationships with people." Can be isolated in society, not by one person; to the contrary, even if they are not isolated by society, someone will be alone. Loneliness may be mistaken for depression for spouses, brothers and sisters, or elderly people who have lost their friends.
