Simpaticobrings us into the world where high society meets the low life and of the western's ethos towards the feeling of friendship and business. The western masculine myth has been jeoparadized through shady past of Vinnie and Carter. The line between the winner and loser is blurred, and the individual traumatic experiences exist near to the theoretically correct than emotionally fulfilling "No one wins without some body losing". At last what happens is less important than what was in the past. Their trauma remains existential since the dismantle of boundaries between winner and loser frames the whole identity. This is the spirit of Sam Shepard's plays.
