Ambiguity in Cat

I had a hard time answering this question outright. So I consulted the
dictionary for a quick reference:







Still somewhat perplexed, I drew a chart and settled on some thoughts:

Gender
Brick and Maggie make a couple steeped in social and personal constraints that they struggle with in different ways. On the surface, Brick exudes masculinity. He's physically built with years of football games under his belt and an unaffected demeanor that lets others know you are merely tolerated in their world. His attitude is described as having the coolness of someone who has given up the fight. That implies that he cannot be hurt by anything, essentially because there's nothing left to hurt. Brick's broken ankle and being constricted to using crutches shows physically how Brick is emotionally. He is immobile because of his desire to live in the past and drinks so he can try to forget it all. He has become a man with no ambition or courage taken to a "career" of drinking. Not so much the image of heroic football player, favored son, or husband anymore, not much of a man.

Maggie's typical role as wife eventually flips on itself too. To others, her womanhood is questionable in many respects. Aside from lacking qualities expected from very traditional familial norms, essentially the quiet servitude of a meek woman to her husband, Maggie is without child. This fact affects not just the question of legacy, but also the validity of her marriage and even her value as a woman. With Brick as impotent as he is throughout most of the play, Maggie must even take on roles typically held by the husband. It is Maggie who informs Brick of the state of things, that they will be cut off from the family's funding if something isn't done. She must and does stand out in the play because she constantly faces the truth of situations as they are and fill the void left vacant by Brick. She ultimately becomes the "bread winner" of the two as she banishes Brick's alcohol until they "earn" their inheritance.
