The protagonist's names in 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf', George and Martha, were derived from George Washington and his wife.

  • True
  • False
Explanation

The answer is False, as the protagonist's names, George and Martha, in Edward Albee's play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" were not derived from George Washington and his wife. In fact, Albee himself revealed that he chose these names as a playful reference to George and Martha Washington, but without intending a direct connection or parallel between the historical figures and his characters. The names were simply selected to add a layer of irony and complexity to the play's examination of the breakdown of a modern American marriage.
