This critical study delves into the renowned play, Look Back in Anger, by John Osborne, focussing on the themes of "disillusionment" and "nostalgia" that permeate its narrative and thus form a base of the play. Osborne's play was published in 1956 and marks a significant turning point in British theatre, as it challenged conventional norms and brought forth the era of the term "angry young man". Through a meticulous examination of character dynamics, plot development, and socio-cultural context, this study unravels the protagonist Jimmy Porter's disillusionment with post-war Britain and his yearning for a past that was more stable and worthy of living. The study illuminates Osborne's portrayal of generational conflict, carefully dissecting the characters' longing for an elusive past.
