Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf

Albee’s portrayal of marital conflict feels so raw and specific. I wonder what personal or societal influences shaped this unflinching look at relationships.

The climax hits hard, but I kept thinking about whether the characters’ fates felt earned or if the ending was more about emotional impact than realism.

The confined timeframe and space create a sense of claustrophobia that intensifies the characters' unraveling. Was this a deliberate choice to heighten the tension?
