Act II sees Rita becoming an "educated" woman and achieving what she has set out to achieve: she now understands literary criticism, is able to write essays that rank her equivalent to the "proper students" and talk confidently with people from the high-class society. etc
I've read some notes on the Internet saying that the main focus of Act II lays in how Rita has come to understand the meaninglessness/ limitations of the education that she has aspired to attain and that education itself does not bring about a more fulfilled life that she wished for when she enrolled into the Open University course.
I can't see how this can be related to the central context of "into the world". Can anyone please explain to me or tell me if the interpretation above is wrong??
Thanks in advance
