Frank feels dissapointed towards Rita's attitudes. I say disappointed because he feels that Rita has completely forgotten about all they have done together and all they have shared. He thinks that Rita doesn't care anymore about attending Frank's lessons . When he realises that Rita is not working anymore as a hairdresser and she hasn't told him about it.
I complete empathise with Frank because I understand the way he feels.He thinks that now thatRita is educated and well-read she feels that she does not need him anymore.He feels that there is not place for him in Rita's new life. Rita makes the comparison between her relationship with Frank and that of a father with his suddenly grown-up daughter. she pretends to have changed because she seems to be acting this new self and not really be living or experiencing it

I sympathise a bit more with Rita because I think that Frank should let her go and enjoy the moment she is living now. He is his teacher and I'm sure that Rita will always remember him, but she needs to move on. I think that most teachers feel that their students leave them when the school year is over, but the truth is that we will always remember those who helped us grow and teached us much more than the school subject.
The question, Marucha and Adri, is: is Rita truly "educated" at this stage? Has she actually developed and "is ready to leave"? Or is she just "pretending to have changed"? As a teacher, should Frank satisfy himself with the appearance of learning? Or is he to go for more?
The last scenes of the play help us see this moment in Rita's life under a different light. I'll be looking forward to reading your replies to this after you've gone through them!
Fondly,
Gladys
