Cloud 9?

The end of this play confused me. If anything, it made the play's title, Cloud 9, ironic. It seems like almost every character ends the play without clarity or resolution. When the play ends, Gerry and Edward's relationship is broken. When Gerry goes to the train station, he states, "As soon as I got on the platform I saw who I wanted. Slim hips, tense shoulders, trying not to look at anyone" (58-59). Longing for others, aside from one's spouse or partner, seems to be pertinent to other relationships in this play. In Act I, Clive is cheating on Betty with Mrs. Saunders. Ellen's is thwarted in obtaining happiness because her longing for Betty, and essentially her sexuality, is ignored. Harry admits to Clive that he is a homosexual, and Clive responds that his homosexuality is disgusting, leaving Harry to fight his sexuality. In Act II, Betty decides to leave her husband, and she says that, "It's strange not having a man in the house. You don't know who to do things for" (64). By the end of both scenes, it seems as though the majority of the characters are far from reaching cloud nine.
