When she first at arrives at the open university franks attiude to rita is at first like all is other pupils. His attiude is he could not really give a toss. Frank then starts to realise that rita is there for work and has a true heart for work and he knows that she desverse a better teacher than himself. But rita wants franks as a teacher so even know walking out on Frank when he says he does not want to teach her she does not give up. She shows this by coming back the next day and oiling the door before the lesson this shows me one of the ways she really has an attiude for doing her and she really wants to get on with it. She does this on pg 29 Act2 showing she is changing because she wants to learn. On pg 30 she starts basically saying to Frank that she ahs not had a good childhood for learning but she is changing because she is up for the challenge.
Another rita has changed is at the beginning of pg 21 she is called Susan proving to herself that she cannot just change her name to become a knew person even know still frank seems to call her rita. But she proves that it is mentally she has to change no other way. This proves that she is becoming mentally more intellcutual and she does not have this childish view over her life. This also proves to me that she has a better view of hw to change nad how capable she is making her future a more interesting and intellcutual one. This also shows to me that she is not nearly as victiamsed by Frank as in the beginning.
One of the big changes during the play is that she builds up the strength the personality and intrerellect and without being told goes to a macbeth play. This shows me that she has changed in the way of her intellctual and also the way she enjoyed a shakespere which before she came to the open university was out of the question. This proves to her that she is capable of achieving her goals when she puts her mind to it.
At first when she gets invited to go to the pub with franks friends on pg 66 she spends the whole day trying to find the right dress but she knows that the only way she gets involved in the intellectual conversation is to act the clown. But in pg 74 she gets invited again and when Frank asks her if she likes Ferlinghetti and she is almost about to say with parmesan cheese but she doesn’t because know she has the knowledge to know about the American poets and she knows something about literture. Know she started a conversation and so not even her offical tutors started talking to her about her knowledge on poets and from this moment onwards she has proved to herself that she is changing.Another way she trys to change herself Is on pg 83 were she trys to change her accent from a towny to a slightly posher accent trying to prove to everyone else that she is a class above herselfike My Fair Lady the book where she gets completely changed from poor to a posh person.
On pg 25 she tries to pursuade frank to stop drinking so he can teach people probably this she is changing because at the beginning she didn’t mind frank drinking. But know she is becoming a stronger person and so for changing people around her. She is know changing because she is becoming stronger and so this affecting all the people around her. As she becomes stronger and her relationship gets stronger with frank she is very open and she is know not scared to ask franks any personnal questions.
When Rita goes to Summer school she comes back wearing knew clothes and a knew strength. She then shows them off to Frank but really she knows that they are from a second hand shop and a different her style and she comes back showing of to us and Frank that she ahs completely changed. After summer school she is not smoking anymore and she shows to Frank that smoking is for weak people completely contracting herself from the beginning of the play. Her looks ahs effected people because know she feels different and can know not go back to her husband because she is a changed person. She also finds she is intelecually infront of her family and when going to the pub she finds hard to mix with everyone and does not feel in the right place. Towards the end she has prove to herself by passing her exam she has proved that she has changed and Franks knows and this has also changed him.
