George’s stories, about him killing his parents, as a witch would do. Also near the end George recites Latin prayers to liberate the demons. Like the title of Act III, The Exorcism meaning to getting rid of the supernatural in a general vicinity, which is very Christian due to the fact that Christians heavily believe in demons and ghosts, or the metaphysical. Finally, the son of George and Martha exemplifying Christ because they made him up as a perfect human or blond hair, and blue eyed as Hitler’s perfect race would have been. Since, George and Martha render democracy, this is inferring that democracy is shown to be perfect but in reality it is not like how their son was imagined perfect, sadly does not exist.

A few demonstrations of Nick would be new, science, order, and communism. The person that George stands for is George Washington which stood for a democratic country. Nick stand for Nikita Khrushchev which stood for communism. Some of the things democracy stands for is liberty, freedom, and individuality. Communism stands for no religion, equality for everyone. Biology and history would be considered an oxymoron of each other. George states “... only because you represent a direct and pertinent threat to my lifehood,” (Albee 51) meaning George was scared that Nick was going to take over the university, and allegorically mirroring that democracy was scared that communism would take over the world.

This quote also confirms the fact that this is really a conversation between democracy and communism. That’s right. I am going to be the wave of the future.” (Albee 33). Meaning that a wave of communism would come so large that it will take over the whole world. “The wave of the future” is commonly used phrase by the Soviet Union. Next, the quote “... the ants will take over the world.” (Albee 33) the significance of this quote is that ants in colony collect food and bring it to their home and divide the food equally amongst all of the ants. This is very communism-like strategy because in communism everyone gets paid equally just like the ants. The quote directly means that communism will take over the world.
