Is there dramatic conflict: There is little dramatic conflict in this play. The conflict is usually about Rita's husband, Denny. Or it is about Frank and Julia. There are many different scenes though in which Frank and Rita have a conflict, usually Frank is drunk when this happeneds. Sometimes he gets unnecessarily mad at Rita when he is intoxicated and he gets quite mad.The conflict shows Frank's affection for Rita but I believe he comes on too strong for her tutorer.
