The two characters take on a personification of two different sides of society. While Peter, for the most part personifies society itself, Jerry offers an introspection of society through an outsider’s perception. Of course Jerry is biased in this way and may not allow the best introspection but that is his goal in forcing Peter to see himself in a different light. This suggests Albee is speaking to us through Jerry. Albee even gave Jerry a title of hero in an interview by the author Matthew Roudane. This is used to make the character believable in a development standpoint, to make his beliefs have reason behind them, and to allow his second role to take place.

Rare 1959 Audio: Flannery O’Connor Reads ‘A Good Man is Hard to Find’ Flannery O'Connor was a Southern writer who, as Joyce Carol Oates once said, had less in common with Faulkner than with Kafka and Kierkegaard. Isolated by poor health and consumed by her fervent Catholic faith, O'Connor created works of moral fiction that, according to Oates, “were not refined New Yorker stories of the era in which nothing happens except inside the characters' minds, but stories in which something happens of irreversible magnitude, often death by violent means. " In imagining those events of irreversible magnitude, O'Connor could sometimes seem outlandish--even cartoonish--but she strongly rejected the notion that her perceptions of 20th century life were distorted. Fiction Podcast: Tony Earley Reads William Maxwell. In this month’s fiction podcast, Tony Earley reads “Love,” by William Maxwell, who was the fiction editor at The New Yorker from 1936 until 1975.
The story, which first appeared in the magazine in 1983, is narrated by an older man looking back on his fifth-grade teacher, a young woman who was adored by her students but fell ill and left school midway through the year. Earley, whose own short stories have been appearing in the magazine since 1999, compares Maxwell’s style to Willa Cather’s; he says that he was drawn to Maxwell’s traditional American storytelling and to his fearlessness in writing “emotionally about emotions.” “Love” is concise and simply written, but its details accumulate in subtly powerful ways.
