How Brian Clark avoids Senintimentality in Whose life is it Anyway Essa
Whose life is it anyway? follows the story of cognizance Harrison, a man who tries to forge a choice over his suffer life or finis later on universe completely paralysed from the head d give birth. Harrison received these horrific injuries after being involved in a car accident 4 months before the story starts. He is now in constant assistance waggishnesshin the hospitals walls being treated and cared for by the medical profession. The revive centres on Harrisons determination to act a choice over his own life or death sense of humorh the medical bureaucracy fiercely opposing. The bunco leads as he takes the medical staff to court to try and exercise this right officially.This play is seemingly unsentimental in which Harrison responds to his plight with wit and clarity and argues his case with power and persuasion. As this play focuses on ones mans heed to die and the issue of euthanasia we as the audience would expect the play to be very emotional. With the storyline, C lark could have easily made this play the other of what it actually is, powerful and fast moving. As Harrison had been though such a terrible ordeal we would expect him to be full of self favor and self indulgence and therefore make the play emotional and miserable. mass is first seen in Act 1, the first impression he makes on the reader is one of a happy and untroubled man. I apply to dream of situations like this lying on a bed being massaged by two beautiful women. This is the first of legion(predicate) comical references Ken makes throughout the play, this is a very strong tool that Clarke uses to avoid muddiness in his play. It shows that Ken isnt self indulgent but preferably making the best out of his current situation. He is expressing how he feels in the form of humour. This is less emotional than s... ...as purposely avoided.To asses how successful Clarke has been in bring this serious issue to life we first need to consider our own right to individualised choice. Clark has made it very obvious that our own individualised choice can sometimes be defied by something as subatomic as the medical bureaucracy. However he has also showed us that with determination, wit and clarity we can argue our right to make our own personal choice. Euthanasia is untimely a very sad issue which is ordinarily dealt with sympathy and self indulgence, Clarke has brought this issue to life and has handled it exceptionally well, he has shown two the comical and sad sides to the debate without showing bias to any side. He has successfully avoided sentimentality in his play by using many different narrative tools such as comedy and rationality and has in the end stopped the play becoming over emotional.
