摘要

This chapter discusses Paula Vogel’s award-winning play How I Learned to Drive. I begin my analysis with an outline of the play’s patriarchal and oversexualised family constellation before I continue with how Vogel addresses the psychological discourse on trauma, victimhood and therapy. The final section is dedicated to the drama’s ritual features, primarily the portrayal of Uncle Peck as a scapegoat figure.
