This seems like the sort of thing you could only enjoy if prolonged exposure to NPR has turned your brain into a smooth cube of calcium. ( ) There are many outstanding reviews for this book, so I'll be short. I immensely enjoy the mental stimulation this book gave me while I was reading it and keeps evoking some thoughts even after I've read it. My friend warned me that "a play should not cause the spectator to identify emotionally with the characters or action before him or her, but should instead provoke rational self-reflection and a critical view of the action on the stage", which I pass to whoever would read this review. There must be happy endings, must, must, must! Considering Brecht's Marxist views and some textual evidence (the translation I read had some sentence about "exploitation" in the introduction and some scenes in the factory play into the "evil capitalists" theme a bit) I imagine he intended it to be an anti-capitalist piece. However it comes off as propaganda for Adam Smith - only when the tobacco factory is in operation are workers able to eat without resorting to stealing, Yang Sun is able to get a new suit and the future of the Shen Te's child is secure. Before the factory, when the ideal communist Shen Te is trying to make everyone happy, everything goes to shambles. Perhaps it's an example of art rising above ideology, so to speak. Or, more likely, an example of everyone seeing whatever they want to see in any given book. I want to go with the one I love. I do not want to calculate the cost. I do not want to think about whether it's good. I do not want to know whether he loves me. I want to go with whom I love. Brecht is brutal here, situating his play in China, dangling the Gods who swing between Divine Indifference and Hypocrisy and filling the ranks with all the avarice and sloth that floats from our unctuous species. Some (may) find exception with the titular heroine and her Manichean solution to the query -- How To Serve Man: spoiler, it isn't a cookbook. I thought the device employed by the character is brilliant, a heady response to the pop-up morality of Snapchat Elysium. One came imagine Brecht seething. Sexually frank but lacking overt violence (with one exception) this play becomes a lumpen comedy of manners. Who's laughing?
"La buena persona de Szechwan" es una obra escrita por el dramaturgo alemán Bertolt Brecht en 1938. La historia se sitúa en la ciudad ficticia de Szechwan (actual Shuozhou, China) y gira en torno a Shen Te, una prostituta bondadosa pero empobrecida. En reconocimiento a su bondad, tres dioses visitan Szechwan para encontrar a una persona buena. La hospitalidad de Shen Te la lleva a recibir una recompensa económica, y ella decide utilizar el dinero para abrir un estanco y mejorar su vida. Sin embargo, al aprovecharse de su generosidad, Shen Te crea un alter ego llamado Shui Ta, una personalidad astuta y práctica capaz de enfrentarse a las duras realidades del mundo. La obra explora temas como la moralidad, la justicia social y los retos de mantener la bondad en un mundo marcado por las dificultades económicas y la explotación. Brecht emplea su característico estilo de "teatro épico", con un narrador y escenas de interrupción para distanciar emocionalmente al público, fomentando el compromiso crítico con las cuestiones sociopolíticas presentadas. "La buena persona de Szechwan" desafía las nociones tradicionales de moralidad y plantea cuestiones sobre la viabilidad de ser una buena persona en una sociedad que a menudo premia el interés propio por encima del altruismo. La obra sigue siendo un poderoso comentario sobre la naturaleza humana, la moralidad y las estructuras socioeconómicas que moldean el comportamiento de los individuos.

Brecht's famous parable, written in exile in 1939-41, shows that in an unjust society good can only survive by means of evil. In it, the gods come to earth in search of enough good people to justify their existence. They find Shen Teh, a good-hearted but penniless prostitute, and make her a gift that enables her to set up her own business. But her goodness brings ruin and she must disguise herself as a man in order to muster sufficient ruthlessness to survive.
