The Drum Major as a Brechtian Symbole

The drum major represents much more than just a man in many ways he is man or what some men have become.

The Drum Major represents the Identity crisis many men go through - as society currently stands the clear defining gender roles of men and women have faded, you could say it is more equal and excepting (although in many ways women are still not equal to men). No longer are men expected to be the emotionless, drunk breadwinner you'd find in a 1940's suburb. I don't believe that this identity crisis is just specific to our time, In the past is seemed necessary to prove manliness and I think that still holds today, What is a real man? For The Drum Major in 2014 how knows? The clear guidelines of what makes a man have faded and men must find that themselves. To me it seemes the Drum major is striving the most obvious version of a man; a walking penis looking for anything to fuck, Sex constantly on his mind for the pure selfish pleasure of it and not love, Strong, powerful and has command over others
