Tavčar gained recognition over night, and in his subsequent plays extended the topics of external appearance and consumerism to the degradation of ethical rules and lust for power. Thematically, he was inspired by world events and spoke of the Slovenian bourgeoisie, who lived in accordance with the historical legacy of their environment. Within the context of theatre, part of literary criticism viewed Tavčars ability to establish his own subjectivity and his endeavours for the promotion of his own discourse as an extraordinary achievement. When, in Trieste in the 1970s, the presupposition of the suffering foreigner whose life goal is to preserve Slovenian identity became predominant, the original Trieste discourse lost significance. Tavčar persisted and continued to analyse the contemporary reality of Trieste outside the established models. Forty plays, a number of essays and many critical reviews, lecture cycles and translations bear witness to thisV petdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja so obiskovalci Slovenskega gledališča v Trstu navdušeno sprejeli dramski prvenec Josipa Tavčarja, ker je sporočilnost tega dela ponazarjala takratno čutenje Tržačanov. Tavčar je čez noč zaslovel in v naslednjih dramah razširil temi zunanjega videza in potrošništva na razvrednotenje etičnih pravil in slo po oblasti. Tematsko je zajemal iz dogajanja v svetu in govoril o Slovencih meščanih, ki živijo v skladu z zgodovinskim izročilom svojega prostora. Del kritike je v Tavčarjevem vzpostavljanju lastne subjektivitete videl izjemen dosežek gledališkega prizadevanja za uveljavljanje lastnega diskurza. Ko je v sedemdesetih letih v Trstu prevladala teza o trpečem zamejcu, ki mu je življenjski cilj ohranjanje slovenstva, je prvobitni tržaški diskurz izgubil veljavo. Tavčar je vztrajal pri svojem in še naprej analiziral sočasno tržaško stvarnost mimo vzpostavljenih kalupov.
