Master Harold

There are many different themes in short stories, novel, and plays. Some of these themes might include dishonesty, love and romance, or hate. Athol Fugard 's play "Master Harold" has a theme of a dysfunctional family. The theme is portrayed through the main character Master Harold as: too quickly grown up, having adult responsibilities, and denying his true feelings.

As the play unfolds and Master Harold, a seventeen-year-old boy, comes in the scene, you can almost immediately see that he has grown up too quickly. Instead of finding time for his friends, he is worried about the family business (which he stays at everyday after school.) "It's coming down cats and dogs out there. Bad for business, chaps..." Hally doesn't even enjoy the simple teenage pleasures of reading comic books. "Jungle Jim ... Batman and Robin ... Tarzan ... God, what rubbish! Mental pollution. Take them away."

She's no match for him when it comes to a battle of words." Hally tries to come across calm and only a little upset when in fact he is truly torn apart from the idea of his father coming back home. Sam and Willie are able to take Master Harold's mind off his father until the second phone call. Hally gets furious with his mother. "I hope you know what you've let us in for..." Hally's mother insists that he talks to his dad and she puts him on the phone. Hally's voice and attitude dramatically and unwillingly change. "Don't be silly Dad. You being home is just a
