Mom manipulates her son with baby-talk, pouting, and flirting. Pop demeans the young man with his cynical worldliness. The family dynamics play out with humor and pathos; Mikey yearns for warmth and intimacy, but his folks can't give it. Every grunt or glance is a power-play. Mikey's war experiences accentuate his dilemma between needing real connection and sinking into boorishness. Back home, shamed by his powerlessness, Mikey becomes all that he hates in his parents. The dysfunction of family is passed down, and the dominoes of one generation topple the next. 650 0 $a Dysfunctional families $v Drama. 650 0 $a Parent and adult child $x Psychological aspects $v Drama. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Drama. 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 7 $a Dysfunctional families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728523 650 7 $a Parent and adult child $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01053305 648 7 $a 1939 - 1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423879 710 2 $a Dramatists Play Service (New York, N.Y.), $e publisher. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014906.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6C4F63DC55EF11E58B7A61D1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
