| dc.description.abstract | This research entitled “ Satire on Capitalism in David Mamet’s Play Sexual Perversity in Chicago” exposes the contemporary sexual mores in the urban America of the 1970s. Mamet, with the help of sophisticated urban speech and acute observation of contemporary sexual mores dramatizes that capitalism and it’s agencies flourished the emptiness of relationships in the American society with the help of capitalistic agencies like bars ,restaurants, bank, dance club ,super market etc. which entrapped typical four characters in vicious circles. For Mamet’s four young people portrayed in this play, sex has become a dirty word, a sniggering pastime for the easily bored. Rather than fulfilling its original function as an integral part of an emotional relationship, sex is for them little more than a cheap thrill, something that men do to women and for which women should be grateful. Mamet also present how the language affects social interaction and how it influences the thoughts and action of people and influence of sex role stereotyping in 1970s urban America on heterosexual relationships. Mamet also examines what he sees as the deplorable state of sexual morality in modern urban America and in doing so illuminates inadequacy and ignorance. | en_US |
