At The Beginning Of The Play The Narrator describes Mrs Johnstone As The Mother So Cruel. What Do You Think Of Mrs Johmstone?
The play has many themes. It shows the irony of the class system where the twins, born from the same mother have completely different lives. Mickey who stays with his real mother grows up seeing “chicken and chips” and “corned beef” as treats, where as Edward has everything he wants such as “dictionaries” a big house and lots of money. Mrs Johnstone I think feels guilty about this, which is one of the reasons that she doesn’t like seeing Edward.
