... The relationship between Frank and Rita Frank and Rita appear to be complete opposites. On the surface, they couldn't be more different. They come from two contrasting social backgrounds - Frank is a well-educated man of middle-upper class. Rita is an uneducated working-class girl. Their jobs go from one intellectual extreme to the other - Frank is a university professor while Rita works as a hairdresser. However, Frank and Rita have more in common than we first realise. Rita is discontented with her present life - she feels incomplete, like she's missed out on something. She feels that the so-called 'working class culture' she was brought up in is hollow and meaningless. Rita is determined to get the education she never got, to raise her standards of living, and also to raise her from her state of ignorance to one of intellectual and social confidence. She looks down on herself and the culture
