In the massive Class 12 Vistas textbook, Susan Hill's highly emotional play 'On the Face of It' beautifully tells the massive story of a heavily burnt teenage boy (Derry) and an old man with a heavy tin leg (Mr. Lamb). One of the most massive, heavily repeated board exam questions is to violently justify the deeply psychological title of this massive play.
Mr. Lamb heavily uses a massive metaphor of a 'Weed'. He violently asks Derry why a green growing plant is heavily loved as a 'Flower', while another green growing plant is violently hated and killed as a 'Weed', proving that massive judgment is completely in the mind.
The English idiom 'On the face of it' heavily means judging a massive situation or a person purely based on their outward, superficial massive physical appearance, without violently taking the heavy effort to know their true massive inner reality.
When people heavily look at Derry, on the face of it, they violently see a massive, highly terrifying, ugly boy because half of his massive face was brutally burnt off by heavy acid. People violently assume he is highly dangerous, pitiful, or deeply mentally broken.
Similarly, when people heavily look at Mr. Lamb, on the face of it, they violently see a highly weird, massive lonely old man with a fake heavy tin leg (blown off in a massive war) who violently talks to bees and massive crab apples. Children heavily mock him as 'Lamey-Lamb'.
The massive title is absolutely justified because the entire play is a heavy psychological attack on society's massive habit of heavily judging books by their covers. The author violently proves that physical beauty or physical massive disability has absolutely zero connection to the massive, beautiful inner soul.
The central massive theme is 'Alienation vs. Inclusion'. It heavily deals with the massive, violent psychological isolation felt by physically disabled people, and how massive, genuine human connection can heavily heal them.
