Abstract |
|
Sam Shepard has written his play The God of Hell
(2004) in order to satirize The War on Terror that
has been launched by the United States after the
attacks of September 11, 2001. The play shows how
the government, represented by Welsh, is trying to
force a new national identity on the American
citizens. Frank and Emma, an elderly traditional
couple who live a peaceful farm life, are destroyed
after their national identity is usurped.
Keywords:
Sam Shepard, national identity, war, government.
