Glengarry Glen Ross

This book displays of group of power hungry, strong men. They seem to have northern characteristics. Everyone has a strong personality and they clash, also they curs a lot, and can be very rude and pushy. Not only is there a sense of dominance over women but over each other as well. This seems to be their view toward anyone but themselves. Although I do think the absence of women and the way they spoke down of women was apparent, I don’t think it’s any different than the way they spoke about men. The men in the office were in constant competition and were yelling and screaming at each other all the time. The language use did not bother me, I think it better described how nonprofessional they were around each other. Also it sets the high stress mood of the play and showed just how disrespectful they were. The only woman that stood out to me in this play was Ms Lingk because she so firmly had her husband understanding that their purchase was her decision. He knew that no matter what this salesman pitched at him he had to get done what his wife wanted. She seemed to be the only one to have control over her husband. But other than Ms Lingk I think their attitude was the same to every person. They were just as rude and disrespectful as men as they were to women.
