In "Master Harold...and the Boys," Hally's mother is not physically present in the play, and his relationship with his father is strained due to his father's alcoholism, which causes tension and conflict in their household. Hally's father is portrayed as a flawed figure who struggles to connect with his son, leading Hally to seek comfort and guidance from Sam and Willie instead.
In "Master Harold...and the Boys," Sam flies a kite with Hally, which symbolizes freedom and joy. However, Hally becomes nervous when Sam expresses his desire to teach him how to fly the kite properly, highlighting the racial and social tensions between them. Hally's discomfort reflects his internalized prejudices and the complexities of their relationship, as he struggles with his own identity and the societal expectations placed upon him. This moment ultimately foreshadows the conflict that arises later in the play.
It symbolizes what Sam wanted Hally to do after they brought his Dad through town because he was drunk. The kite is telling Hally to keep his head up, be confident, and never stop being a good person.
One of the best quotations in the play is near the end after Hally spits in Sam's face. "If you're not careful...Master Harold... you're going to be sitting up there by yourself for a long time to come, and there won't be a kite in the sky" This is kind of like a big metaphor. The kite is supposed to help Hally stay grounded. It is a way for him to break free from the apartheid society. The bench he would be sitting on was "Whites Only." Sam is trying to say that if Hally does not watch his anger, he will end up alone, in this apartheid society, with no one to help him (seeing as Sam is the only one who really cares about Hally).
It is about the internal conflict and shame an adolescent white boy (Hally; the "Master Harold" of the title) feels as he is torn between the love his supposed to feel for his alcoholic, racist and diabled father, and the love he does feel for his surrogate father Sam, a black man who works at the Tea Shop Hally's family runs. Sam takes Hally under his wing, "educating" him to be more proud of himself, tolerant of others and optimistic about how the world could be. But Hally's pessimism and shame overcome the developing relationship between white boy and black man in the final scenes of the movie. It is also important to note that the play was, to a large extent, autobiographical, as author Athol Fugard re-visits his youth, and his relationship with the real-life Sam Semela by writing, what must have been a very introspective, and therapeutic, drama.
