Bevington's essay, "Full of Strange Oaths and Bearded Like the Pard: The Coming-of-Age of the Male."

What are three significant arguments Bevington makes in his essay?  Do you agree or disagree with each of the arguments?  Why or why not?  (In your rationales use the article, plays, and the BBC film we've seen to date.)  As always, you must respond to at least two others' posts to exceed expectations.

By the way, I'm looking for some burned intellectual calories in your responses.  Go beyond the obvious.
