Abstract: Albee is concerned about the American democracy which under the garb of democracy is actually a dictatorship of two parties – Republican and Democrats – and of a few people. These are the matters of concern for Albee in relation to society and civilization. Thus, Albee unlike the ‘art for art’s sake’ school fits in the group of those writers who believe in the idea of ‘art for the sake of society.’ Albee’s art has a specific purpose i.e., to amend the society. He wants to make his civilization realize that disorder is spreading its wings in personal, professional and social wards of life, and in order to expose the weaknesses of American society literature should be used as an instrument.
