Focusing on male aggression and identity crises, this study delves into David Rabe's Vietnam Trilogy, which includes The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel, Sticks and Bones, and Streamers. It explores the impact of historical events and cultural shifts on the concept of masculinity, questioning the existence of the 'crisis of masculinity.' The analysis addresses themes of war, race, and the consequences of father-son relationships on male identity, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in gender and identity in American literature.
