Abstract EN
A new vision has been created in the 1980s' drama to overcome the sense of entrapment that the modern man feels in the attempts to keep his/her will and free choice liberated from severe confiscation Though considered as a possibly negative vision, suicide started to be seen as to hand man the sense of control that is aspired at least over the end of one's life.
A further control was well reflected by the female figures in the late 20th century drama as it appeared in Marsha Norman‟s „Night, Mother' (1985).
This study traces the suicidal vision undertaken by a 40-year-old lady whose identity and sense of selfhood has been long confiscated by her mother and her whole universe.
She tries to revive a romantic vision, rooted much in her strong tie with her dead father, in an attempt to reunite herself to her autonomous entity.
