- Title
Was it a Boy or a Girl : Exploring Gender Issues in Martin McDonagh's The Lieutenant of Inishmore.
- Authors
Salama, Muhammed Sobhi
- Abstract
This article aims at analyzing various views/definitions of gender and how these can be applied to Martin McDonagh's most political play, The Lieutenant of Inishmore. Further, it intends to provide insights into the concepts of backlash and stereotypes. The article illustrates how Davey and Mairead clearly break society-governed confines, which everybody else succumbs to. They boldly assert aspects of their personalities in an attempt to be who they are, and not who they ought to be. The conclusion is a summing up of the ideas and points discussed in the paper.
