Different Worlds - Educating Rita vs. shawshank redemption
Explain how challenges of venturing into the world can be outweighed by the possibilities that come from personal growth.
Barriers of endeavouring into the abyss are not worthwhile to overcome since growth will undermine your perception of ultimate happiness. Since individuals inevitably sacrifice a part of themselves and does not provide ultimate happiness for society. The prescribed text "Educating Rita" by Willy Russell showcases Rita as losing all of her individuality by gaining knowledge. Mirroring the above thesis, my related text," The Shawshank Redemption" directed by Frank Darabont encapsulates the idea of institutionalisation.
Education is a supplement for the old lifestyle giving new ways to live with detrimental side effects. In the play “Educating Rita”, Rita assumes that education is an opportunity for finding herself but she is merely transitioning from one social class to another. Rita’s education has an oppressive effect on her personality. Frank wants her to 'discipline' her mind, but what he means is find a less subjective (personal) way to look at literature. The irony is that this will make Rita less spontaneous and it might hinder her passion for the truth and for life. Education and Alcohol are of both a means of satisfaction for Frank. Giving an education substitutes the need to drink highlighting his futile predicament since by teaching Rita, she is putting ‘nothing of her’ in her essays whereas her previous essay was filled with subjectivity and by drinking he is losing a part of himself and . Consequently, she is conforming to the social class and meeting the needs and wants of that class but that is not ultimate happiness since they are not completely her wants and needs. Therefore, referring to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, as she is gaining self-actualisation she is losing her belonging and love nature since she runs away from Denny and drives Frank away.
