Film: Dutchman Leroi Jones' Dutchman seems to bend reality or at least for me personally, I read it believing it to be some sort of dream that Clay was experiencing. Lulu essentially guesses everything about Clay based on stereotypes. She even gets angry with his appearance claiming that he should stop feeding into the white expectations of him and be more black. I believe that what Jones was trying to show is how African Americans are constantly being pulled in different directions. Once they finally fit into what is expected of them, they are pushed and made to seem as if they have been wrong. With all of this being said, do you think the style of the play worked to show the separation and black power Jones tried to depict?
