Sweat As A Play Of Racism: Studying The Effect of Postmodern as a method of understanding a Literary Text
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: Lynn Nottage’s Sweat is one of the most famous plays that is regarded as Nottage’s prophecy about the Donald Trump era. Nottage derives her play material from studying Reading, Pennsylvania's industrial, social and cultural background. Her interviews with the local citizens inspire her to create an exciting story of a group of childhood friends who harm their relationships because of financial problems. A rough tone of racism arises, fights occur, and then, a regretful tone hopes to repair all the broken relationships. The study follows the thematic analysis as an approach of discussion to answer the raised questions. It starts with an introduction, questions, and debate and ends with a conclusion summarising the findings.
