Murial Spark - the drivers seat

never allowed into the main characters head - just what we see as observer- also story of events that we know happened more an account of how they happened and not of why. the character is absurd (some critics say too absurd) and

suicide----- the only thing she can take control of - sense of ownership and power over oneself - i have often thought this how with death although I dont want to die and would like to die in an unexpected way so i do not have to deal with the build up. the notion of being in control of your death is also something satisfying and a away to tackle death. even in the name of the play , drivers seat it shows this.
