Abstract
This study aims to investigate the sibling relationship between Austin and Lee in True West by Sam Shepard, through the lens of Deborah Gold's sibling typology (1989). Siblings play crucial roles in shaping individual identities. This study categorizes Austin and Lee’s relationship into five types: intimate, congenial, loyal, apathetic, and hostile. The analysis reveals that Austin and Lee's relationship fluctuates between apathetic and hostile, leading to verbal and physical confrontations. With 27 instances of negative interactions and 18 positive interactions, their sibling bond is predominantly defined by hostility. It can be concluded that their relationship is driven by rivalry, distrust, and aggression. It affects their lives and personal growth. The study underscores the importance of examining sibling relationships to understand how family relationship contribute to individual behaviors and psychological outcomes.
