Abstract :
Sam Shepard was born by the name Samuel Shepard Rogers on November 5, 1943 in
Fort Sheridan, Illinois. Sam Shepard has gained fame as one of America’s foremost
living playwrights. He became an archetypal symbol of American self-made man and
has been identified “a true American hero”. His first full-length play, La Turista,
was performed at the American Place Theatre in 1967. His popular play Buried
Child won the Pultizer Prize. In the first Act of this play, Shepard highlighted the
bewilderment between characters, just because of innocent son and crazy
performance of an old man. Second Act focused to reveal secret of family from the
past. Tension and violence increased through the way of dishonest and the act of
incest. In the Third Act, Shepard finalized the character Vince as the real heir of that
family. Innocent character Tilden appeared with Buried child finally.
