Earticle

As many scholars have found out that identity is not fixed but flexible, the definition of masculinity has been changed in accordance with the change of time. So far white straight male Americans are the dominating figures in American culture and literatures. But there are so many different types of masculinity in the American society. So the purpose of this paper is to examine the nonmainstream masculinity, especially homosexual one, in Tony Kushner’s Angels in America. Some modern playwrights dramatize the lives of minorities each playwright knows well. Homosexual playwright Kushner portraits his gay male characters—especially Roy Cohn, Joe Pitt, and Prior Walter—as victims in white straight male American society due to the dominant point of view of the masculinity. Kushner treats the crisis of homosexual masculinity in that the homosexual male wasn’t ‘real male’. The males, who inhabit the margins, suffer the challenges of masculinity in their community and then have to look for a new masculinity. For these reasons, this work has opened new discourses about masculinity in American society.
