Modern society's neglect fuels superficial relationships and spiritual emptiness.
John Guare's play "Bosoms and Neglect" explores how people in modern society struggle to form meaningful connections due to neglect and alienation. The play delves into the human psyche, showing how we often escape reality by immersing ourselves in fantasies. Guare suggests that true connection requires emotional involvement and risks, rather than hiding behind intellectual fantasies. The play reflects the idea that lack of compassion and spiritual connection can contribute to the insanity and violence in contemporary life. Freud's theory of neurosis, as depicted in the play, highlights how childhood or adult sexual disorders can lead to mental disorders like anxiety and depression.
