Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates
On first glance the Wheeler family seems like the quintessential 1950’s family. Frank and April are young couple with two young children. They recently bought a house in the “perfect” suburban neighborhood.
Behind closed doors however, we see a couple who are in constrant struggle. They are struggling with themselves, struggling with and against each other. They are struggling to break out of the mold they have put themselves in.
“Revolutionary Road” explores the complexity of marriage, love, hate, and human emotions. It’s an intense look at what happens when two people marry under the wrong circumstances.
