INTERTEXTUAL LANDSCAPES IN SARAH RUHL’S THE CLEAN HOUSE

Route Education and Social Science Journal

Abstract

Sarah Ruhl’s The Clean House exhibits many references in her play to reveal the emotional complexity of her characters. The allusions that Ruhl makes use of add many layers to the struggles of her female characters. Love and grief are explored through intertextual indications so as to move the play beyond one narrative of sorrow towards a universal commentary of the fragility of life in general. The contemporary playwright tackles issues of infidelity, loss and the nature of cleanliness in a new light for she reexamines the boundaries of forgiveness and love.
