This paper is designed to focus on one of the major themes presented in Edward Albee‟s The Zoo Story , the theme of character alienation .”Isolation ,loneliness and frustration are , in fact , major subjects in this realistic and symbolic drama of a lonely outcast who tries to make contact with another human being and who finally binds himself to that other in death”1.The play presents characters who suffer from lack of tangible human relationships , the sense of loneliness , and from being alienated and isolated from the other members of their own society. This suffering leads majorly to agonizing life experiences and finally to the death of the main character. This paper tries to reveal the reasons out of which the characters‟ alienation springs and at the same time the consequences to which these reasons lead
