dc.description.abstractAnger is a basic human emotion which has a force for constructive or destructive ends. Its expression in any circumstance can be a trigger for a desire to change a prevailing situation. In all cases, anger is a fundamental component of art. In Osborne and Osofisan, extreme anger as both material and style is what marks them out. Its reification by the intellect provides a potent instrument' for investigating society. This study examines the use of anger in Osborne's Look Back in Anger and Osofisan's The Chattering and the Song. Osborne and Osofisan are two writers who are very anxious to change their societies. The paper is a comparative study of a British and a Nigerian playwright who wrote at different times yet share similar concerns. The study is primarily concerned with the early plays of Osborne and Osofisan where anger is strongest and where their artistic triumph is most poignant. The paper reveals that anger is the point of departure for their art and concludes that it is both material and motivating force for their writings. The anger expressed in these works are not mere hysterics but cerebral.en_US
