Abstract [English]

Bruce Mason, the notable playwright, critic, journalist and fiction writer has centered his writings on the cultural landscape of his country New Zealand. The writings of Bruce Mason reveal his love towards his country, the change of culture and its adverse effects. The real picture of Great Depression era of New Zealand and its impact on the common lives are shown in Bruce Mason’s classic play The End of the Golden Weather. The rift between the commoners and the ruling class are visibly shown in this play. This paper endeavours the sufferings and agony faced by the common people of New Zealand after the Great depression. This paper further aims to analyse the adoption of European culture and the impact of westernization in the lives of common people.
