RA Butlerian Reading of Albee’s Two Plays

ABSTRACT

Edward Albee’ s dramatic career was born in the context of postwar America and the counterculture of the 1950s and 60s to confront the contemporary politics and question the long-held social values. Likewise, Judith Butler’ s work first appeared as a critique of identity within the social and political movements of contemporary America. Albee’ s early plays such as The Zoo Story (1959) and Who’ s Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1962) voiced a critique of the existing social and political structure by bringing up a variety of issues such as gender, sexuality, family, class, power, identity, and communication. Butler’ s work, embodying a post-structuralist account of identity, subjectivity, gender and sexuality, forms the backbone of the present study which aims to explore gender trouble and power struggle in the two selected plays of Albee. Albee’ s characters, struggling within the boundaries of gender and the limits of socio-political regulations, lend themselves to a Butlerian approach eyeing upon gender and the relations of power.
