Waiting for Lefty by Clifford Odets presents the idea of strikes in a unique fashion. ... Therefore, Waiting for Lefty can be considered a time piece, as it reflections attitudes and actions of people of a certain era.
Waiting for Lefty is unlike any of the plays which we have studied thus far. ... The play unravels and climaxes at the finale with Lefty’s death and the men rallying. ... This play would be much different if it actually included a strike, or if it ended without Lefty dying. ... Throughout Waiting For Lefty, the constant theme of the growing anticipation of a strike runs through. ...
The opening speech of the play is imperative to Waiting For Lefty. ...
Lefty and the title of the play, Waiting for Lefty, are vital to this play. While Lefty never once appears in the performance, he is by far the most important character of all. Besides lending his name to the title of the play, Lefty is another source of tying the play together. Odets uses Lefty to connect his play. We find out background information about Lefty in the opening scene and then, sadly, find out about Lefty in the conclusion of the play.
