ok Ill try to help a little. So he was all about pushing the limits. To have a lead character be a black man back there was very odd to the people then. And even more so since he was with a white women in the play. its pushed the audiences buttons which was a common theme for most of the plays. it was one of his later plays so it was more accepted then some of his other pieces. It could also be a reflection of how life was when men in that day and age had to leave for war(which you could draw a parallel to in today’s world)
