To reflect the passionate and psychological influences of life's agonies, Sarah Ruhl in her The Clean House manage successfully manages to blend magical realism, humor and touching symbolism. Using rituals, Ruhl reflects themes of love, loss, agony and the search for identity. Through the characters' interactions and dialogues, the playwright tries to reflect rituals as a coping mechanism and a means of healing. By experiencing various kind of anguishes like loss, abandonment and cancer and its consequences, Ruhl shows how the human powers of acceptance, durability, sharing experiences and their changing affect offer a standpoint on how to deal with one's pain and find relief within suffering and connect with others.
