Who was Virginia woolf's son in the movie Who is afraid of Virginia woolf?
Virginia Woolf was not a character in the film adaptation (or stage version) of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf." The title is based on a joke Elizabeth Taylor's character (Martha) devises at a party; she changes the lyrics to the song "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf," for comic effect.
Martha and George do not have children in the story. Their "son" is more of an inside joke; another of the many sick games that the couple plays throughout the movie.
How did Virginia Woolf and T.S. Eliot influence each other?
Woolf's 1931 novel The Waves plays with some of the techniques that Eliot developed (with the important editing of Ezra Pound) in The Waste Land (1922), published in one of its versions by the Hogarth Press, run by Virginia and Leonard Woolf. Virginia Woolf actually hand-set the type of The Waste Land. See Molly Hite's introduction to The Waves (Harcourt 2006, Mark Hussey series editor)
