Sam character analysis: Master Harold and the boys, a protest play written by Athol Fugard in 1982 about the Apartheid system, is set in South Africa in the 1950s. The 1950s marked the peak of the Apartheid era. It was first performed in Yale Repertory Theater, New York in March 1982 because it was banned in South Africa during the Apartheid. Each character portrays the stereotypical version of a 1950 citizen part of Apartheid. Fugard creates Sam to represent the black man who struggles against the idea of Apartheid. His character is in his 40s and works at the tea park room. He is portrayed as a curious, compassionate and refined person. Throughout the play, Sam’s interactions strongly represent Fugard’s view of the black man who struggles against the idea of Apartheid. This can be inferred by the audience as Sam constantly tries to educate himself and learn new things from Hally. There are several instances of this with an example being, Hally teaching him vocabulary like “An intrepid social reformer will not be daunted by the magnitude of the task he has undertaken” (Fugard 17). To add to this point, the audience can also notice several intellectual conversations between Sam and Hally. For example, when they talk about a man of magnitude and finally reach an agreement, Hally says, “Splendid Sam, Splendid! For once we are in total agreement. The major breakthrough in medical science in the Twentieth Century.”(Fugard 28) Fugard has created Sam as such a character who is trying to educate himself even if he does not have the opportunity as a black man. Fugard builds Sam as a character who prioritises building a relationship between him and Hally over the racial tension between black and white people to portray Sam’s struggles with the idea of apartheid.. His unprejudiced thinking shows how unwilling Sam is to accept racism. In 1950, if anyone heard about a father-son relationship between a 17-year old white boy and a black man in his 40s they would consider it strange or even crazy because of the biased thinking of the time. Hally’s views aligns the Apartheid ideals with him saying, “Strange isn’t it.... Little white boy in short trousers and a black man old enough to be his father flying a kite. It’s not every day you see that.” (Fugard 38) Sam questioning the idea behind this relationship being strange saying, “But why strange? Because the one is white and the other black?” (Fugard 38) makes the audience draw the inference that he is not judging this relationship through a racial lens and is questioning why people do. Fugard’s choice of Sam’s dialogues and actions do a lot to portray the symbol behind his character. Especially near the end of the play, you could instance of this would be Sam’s outrage after Hally makes a joke about a “n*****s arse”. Sam says, “It's me you’re after. You should have said “Sam’s arse”... because that’s the one you are trying to kick. Anyway, how do you know it’s not fair? You’ve never seen it. Do you want to? [He then drops his trousers and underpants and presents his backside for Hally’s inspection…]”. (Fugard 56) Just from this example, you can notice that Sam refuses to accept apartheid indoctrination. His outrage at Hally’s racist yet normalized comment (at the time) is a clear indicator that he is not okay with this system. To conclude, Fugard's choice of Sam’s interactions, dialogues, actions, and unprejudiced thinking guides the audience to conclude that Fugard creates Sam to represent the black men who struggle with the idea of segregation and racism.
