"Whose afraid of Virginia Woolf?"-'What this play demonstrates is that power ultimately lies neither in physical strength nor in emotional pressure,but in communication'.To what extent do you agree?

I agree to a large extent with this statement since the majority of emotional pressure on characters is caused by communication, and hardly any power is demonstrated by sheer physical strength and attributes in this play. The three characters that power fluctuates to and from within the play are George, Nick and Martha.

Power also takes the form of the major themes of the play. The struggles are shown in and between the conflicting themes of Reality and Illusion, of Games and War, History and Biology, in The American Dream references and finally between Love and Hate.
