- Athol Fugard’s “Master Harold”… and the Boys is much more than merely an exploration of the concepts of racism and apartheid. Through character action and constructed symbolism it can be seen that this play is also a recreation of the life of Christ.
Support:
-Three main characters (trinity)
-Sam and Hally suffered for other people (due to apartheid)
-Hally suffered for the sins of his father
-Spiting in Sam’s face symbolic of crucifixion
