A misfit is a person not suited in behavior or attitude to a particular social environment. The first two texts that I chose shows how being a misfit can cause problems in communication while the last text proves that a misfit is not necessarily alone. The Dumb Waiter, written by Harold Pinter in 1957 is a one-act play about two professional killers waiting in a basement room for their orders concerning the next job. Gus is the junior member, and the less intelligent. During the play, he keeps asking Ben some random questions such as "that's funny, isn't it?" or "Who, me?". His meaningless remarks lead to a lack of communication that isn't helping the progression of the action. For example, when he affirms that the matches "will come handy" and when Ben answers "Yes.", he needs to response "Won't they?". Gus can be considered as the misfit between the two because of his absurd quarrels. On the other hand, this play also shows how misfits can be inferior and dependent...

I would like to conclude my presentation by quoting an Apple quote that shows how misfits are utile to the society: “Here's to the crazy ones.

The rebels.

The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes.

The ones who see things differently.

They're not fond of rules.

And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.

Because they change things.

They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”. »
