April and Brick are tragic characters, who are unable to perform the role society gives which not only leads to self-destruction but dysfunctionality in relationships and family. At the beginning of Chapter 1 in Revolutionary Road, Yates use of flashbacks of the Laurel Players creates an effect of omniscience that they were doomed from the start which intensifies the imminent failure of the group.

Alexie points out that “poverty only teaches you to be poor” (553). In this statement he logically concludes that his family has not been able to advance because all they know is the poverty they live in. In contrast, Alexie, once again, only considers his viewpoint.
