Minimalism in Mamet’s Play Romance: A Postmodern Study
Abstract
The research intends to analyze David Mamet’s play Romance from a minimalist point of view, which is one of the characteristics of postmodernism and discusses the art that is small but imparts more meaning through deep analysis of the text. The context of the play has been studied through Warren Motte’s insight of minimalism which as the theoretical framework. The undertaken research is qualitative in nature. Moreover, the crucial point in this research is to highlight objective repetition and the intended reduction of means to amplify the text in the postmodern context to see how solidly the effect of minimalism approves to the context of the selected text. The researcher finds out that the weird discourse makes the characters unexceptional individuals who represent disunity among the people of American socio-political and religious systems and that Mamet has presented entropy and fragmentation in his play Romance to highlight the corrupt judicial system in America
