Abstract
David Mamet has referred to his Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Glengarry Glen Ross, as a “gang comedy about men, work, and unbridled competition.” This essay explores this imbrication of masculinity and the discourse of capitalism, which is often structured around the mythos of individualism and cutthroat competition. Additionally, this article addresses the means by which Mamet's characters, who are constituted by the demands of capitalism, use language as a source for domination and manipulation.
