This article is an overview toward a play of an American
dramatist, William Inge. In this case, the play is viewed from gender
perspective as considered 'quite representative' to reveal what Friedan
(1995) stated as polarisation of men and women. The writer wants to
depict the representation of men and women in the play as the central
issue affecting the result of this analysis. In addition, the term gender
should be understood as an umbrella term pervading the whole
discussion. To what extent the verification of the polarisation may
analytically come as the conclusion.
