Examine Frank’s growing sense of unease as Rita becomes more educated

In Act 2 Scene 5, Rita accuses Frank that “what you can’t bear is that I am educated now… don’t y’like me now that the little girl’s grown up, now that y’can no longer bounce me on daddy’s knee an’ watch me stare back in wide-eyed wonderment at everything he has to say? I’m educated now, I’ve got what you have an’ y’don’t like it because you’d rather see me as the peasant I once was; you’re like the rest of them - you like to keep your natives thick, because that way they still look charming and delightful”. It does indeed appear that Frank feels much less comfortable with the knowledgeable manner Rita acquires in the second act than he was with the common, unsure manner she had in Act 1. He liked being the only ‘cultured’ influence in her life, he liked feeling superior - not in a negative way as such, more in the way someone treats a child, nicely but not with the same respect they would show their peers.
Rita is a young working class woma...
