Sam Shepard represents the voices of the white American low classes, who quest for their identity and fulfillment. Shepard`s characters are a stereotypical cast of American heroes: cowboys, rock stars, homesteaders, and mythical figures who face the psychological annihilation of identity. In order to find a real self-identity, each of them tries to find a new place by escaping from the world which now confines them. America is the world what Baudillard defines the hyper-real society in which images have the power over where the reality is absent. Especially the goals of mass-media such as Hollywood movies, television and magazine are to be hooked up to itself emphasizing their surface intensity and meaninglessness Shepard`s characters are helpless and paralyzed, and also are unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy. Shepard`s figure of ``the fatherhood`` living in his own fantasy world has a taste for alcohol and further, is addicted to drink. America as well as the past of America is produced items like Hollywood western movies without true or real stuff. Shepard tries to wake and shake the American audience who are indifferent to the others and the American past. All the characters on stage seem to have learned to live in a state of war and accept it as something quite normal. He reveals the history of blood and violence from the beginning of America such as killing and driving out Indians, oppressing African slaves and starting wars like Vietnam and Gulf Wars. Shepard makes the connection between war and male violence to prove its power and machismo as a successor to their father. In Shepard`s plays, blood relations hover like a curse over the sons` search for a true male identity. The only way to find an identity is to follow the role model of the father and the very identity can finally be accepted by the father as a worthy successor. To realize the reality of the American dream and the past, Shepard shows its most humble and terrible site of America and Americans. However, he strongly believes the hope for change by achieving the audiences` emotional movement and awakening. Shepard never gives up a promise of the future when the dark side of the reality in American history would be evaluated as a face of real America.
