Andy is a typical patriarch and he is dying alone in Moonlight. At the last moment of his life, he found his life a failure. His two estranged sons don’t come to his deathbed and Bridget, his daughter haunts on the stage as a ghost. He has failed to be held in respect as a good father in his family, although he boasts he was respected and admired by a lot of people while working as a civil servant. The underlying cause of his failure was that he became a figure of domestic dominance in his family in pursuit of social success in the past. Since he had a strong desire to occupy a dominant position in a bureaucratic system, he neglected his duty as a father and became foul-mouthed and irascible at home. In this paper, his desire is explained as a wish to sustain leading position in social life, i.e., the Hegemony of R. W. Connell. According to Connell, gender is a way in which social practice is ordered and multiple masculinities are recognized in gender relations. Even though only small number of people can meet the normative definition of the hegemonic masculinity and the hegemonic position is always contestable, Andy chose to devote himself to the status. In the end, Andy regrets and it is Bridget who is a useful device for Pinter to show what Andy lost in his life by adhering patriarchy.
