How Does Austin's Character Change Throughout The Novel
The story of True West is a great play that is told with very few characters in it. Out of the four characters within this great play the one who has pulled my attention the most would be Austin. Austin within this play has endured these big obstacles that we call life and its very interesting how these obstacles take a turn in his life. Throughout the play I noticed that Austin’s character begins to change as the story continues to unveil itself more and more as he continues to face these obstacles head on. Austin’s character is not only affected by the choices that he decides to make, but it is also affected by the people he has around him which is true in real life for anyone here on this earth.

Austin still ended down the same road that both his brother and father ended up taking. One scene in particular that shows the deep rooted issues between his family happens in scene four. Austin’s brother Lee takes his car keys and says “What kinda people kill each other most Family, people, brothers. “ (Shepard, 1980). During this scene, the two get into a heated argument. Lee challenges his brother to call the police on him so that they can remove him from the house after he does not return his keys Austin does not does not even contemplate calling the police because this is still his little brother, but I do not think that Lee thinks the same way. Lee to me feels like even though he is brother he cannot get in trouble with the law because it’s family matters that they are dealing with. These feelings that Austin has of trying to forget his family may be in his mind, but deep down he cares for them as we have just seen in that scene. He tried his best so hard to reject who his family was but in the end his family caught up to
