1. Creating Space: The Dramatic Use of Lies in Dutchman
The drama "Dutchman" is a play by Leroi Jones. In this heart-stopping drama about a young man named Clay whom is onboard the last subway ride he'll ever take. Here he crosses paths with a psychotic pathological liar named Lula. In this play we are given some insight to what it like to be caught up in racist battles over stereotypes, and accusations. More so, we are drawn into the reality of the problems our society faces with these issues. Furthermore, we experience first-hand both sides of being and black, or white. .
Throughout the first scene I am taken a back by Lula, a manipulator by nature who lashes out hostility at Clay who is a black man. Lula is a white woman. She assumed, and accused Clay of staring at her. Lula is in fact an attractive woman, who is aware of her sexuality and uses it to attract Clay into her twisted world. Clay is simply looking out of the subway window and it appears to her that he is shamelessly looking at her rear. He is not staring, just gazing out into the window engaged in deep thought. Nothing more than a smiled gesture of acknowledgement was exchanged when their eyes crossed paths. The next thing as he looks up from his newspaper is that woman he just saw through the window opting to have a seat next to his. What Clay doesn't realize however is that this woman has a manipulative agenda on her mind, more than just sitting next to him. " I even got into this train, going some other way than mine. Walked down the aisle.searching you out." (p.7) This woman deliberately got on that train to start some static over her assumptions. "Weren't you staring at me through the window? At the last stop?" (p.6) Clay who seems to keep to himself replies to her comment about her "searching him out" in (what seems to me) as an uninterested tone. Lula does eventually spark his interest when she lashes out at Clay's reply of her comment about seeking him out.
