Abstract
The tradition of prominent western drama demonstrates a rather consistent pattern in portraying a romantic ideal of virtuous youth and malevolent old age. This theme, which may contribute to negative attitudes toward aging, is traced from well known Greek, Roman, and Shakespearean plays to the 19th and 20th century drama of Ibeen, O'Neill, and others. This dramatic impression is related to gerontologkal research which bean upon Intergenerational Issues. Drama in modern social context, reflecting present social conditions, expresses the desire of older people to reestablish autonomy in their lives.
