Master Harold and the Boys
... The main theme in "Master Harold and the Boys" by Athol Fugard is apartheid in Africa. ... They remember when Sam built a kite for Harold, how they flew it together, and how they forgot their differences that day. ... As always, Willie is forgotten about and not mentioned, this leaves Harold and Sam alone for the audience. ... Harold was ashamed to be seen with a kite made of waste materials, but that kite represents their relationship, so we see how he was ashamed of his good relationship with the black man.
