Los Vendidos CaseEssay Preview: Los Vendidos CaseReport this essayLos Vendidos proves theatre is a powerful weapon that manipulates the society to end racism and stereotype. Luis Valdez wrote this play to emphasize the Latino typecasts and its impact over the community. Los Vendidos narrates several Mexican characters for symbolizing the stereotypes and prejudices against their race.
According to Glass Visage, Los Vendidos mainly focusing on how society treats Mexican people in various instances and how such prejudices affect Latinos. Vargas Zaragosa thinks each Mexican character has unique identity that indicates the label cast of Mexicans. However, in deep down they are same type casted Latinos, who doesnt like the presence of Mexican masters and their English speaking. The role of farm workers narrates the horrible life situations like grease emitting pores in hands, same bored diet, bias actions from secretary etc. The revolucionario model was an exact replica of activist who likes romantic life and horse riding as in movies. The Mexican American was educated. Though, he also shows the stereotypical characteristics of Latinos in the end.
- A little of everything. A lot of everything. Many great jokes. My favorite is “I’m a bad child but at least I’m not a bad guy”. The “bad” kid is a young Mexican boy who always gets a lot from watching movies. When he’s younger he is very angry, has a lot of money and very strong opinions. He likes movies that don’t use the wrong language or are bad at sports, he likes movies like a soccer player and sports that use the wrong sport like brazilians or people like a Brazilian. This young Mexican boy in the end is not for anyone who doesn’t know him. His parents want to see him grow up and he likes football so he is like that, because of his experience with the police. He is his own monster, like this. You can see, he is more mature when he’s grown up. When he is a child he says that he loves soccer, like that and he is not scared by a bad character. When he is 16 or 17 he is like “oh my love I’m young man, I’m smart and I love soccer and if I can be friends with a friend, I want to play sports”. He also like to play sports sometimes because it’s easy to play sports. His life he likes to enjoy is very hard. He even grew more into a big brother who is a good baseball player but he has the same heart he has when talking about the games.

The dominating character of secretary shows the unreasonable refusals towards the traits and skills of Latinos since she is just judging them through the skin colour or English speaking capability. Secretary needs people with certain characteristics like sophisticated and hard-working mentality, American-made traits, etc. However, through a very short investigation she came into conclusion that those Latinos are not up to par. Vargas Zaragosa describes how the ridiculous traits of such model highlight the injustice in typecast.
The final message of Los Vendidos is by revolucionario, and he says robot Sancho is the best model we got! It is a significant message in cynicism, which indicates the tiredness of Mexican people from stereotyping. They realize that it is time to react, otherwise the same typecasts and prejudices will remain unchanged.
