Throughout the movie, the audience understands how an apparently average man can find himself in the midst of a situation in which his personal power and control is completely denied. When that happens, people are drawn to a character through a strange combination of admiration, envy, and irritation. Even in the first of circumstances, Luke maintains his cool and finds the humor in the most difficult of circumstances.

“Drag” Performance in the American Theater
[ send me this paper ]
This 15 page report discusses the history and impact of drag performances on the American theater. One of the reasons that drag performance, whether in a drag queen show or in the “legitimate” theater, titillates, amuses, and shocks people is that it plays with gender’s most honored and traditional beliefs and celebrates the confusion of social and sexual identities. Drag is definitely not found only in the homosexual community, but also in other worlds of cross-dressing: straight men dressing in drag for personal thrills and people in the performing arts donning drag as part of a show. In the a dramatic performance, cross-dressing establishes a realm that differs from daily preconceptions of life -- just as drama itself does. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
