The shorter Parts 2 and 3, building on figures established in Part 1, actually contain greater substance, and McCraney's writing feels far more assured. A fierce conflict between brothers in one finds unexpected closure through the sexual dilemmas of an unrelated young man in the other. Sensibly, McCraney offers no simple answers; he lays out the complex situation fully and leaves the audience to sort through it.
