Das erste Drama, das ich wirklich freiwillig und wirklich, wirklich gern gelesen habe. Das auch ohne Deutsch-Unterricht verständlich ist, große Fragen aufwirft (und sie nicht beantwortet, aber das ist auch schwer. Oder unmöglich)
Definitiv sehr lesenswert, und ich glaube, ich werde zum Brecht-Fan.

Plot- or character-driven? A mix
Strong character development? It's complicated

Diverse cast of characters? Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

An interesting take on how capitalism prevents people from acting morally, clearly shown by Shen Te's goodness and her contrasting alter ego Shui Ta. Maybe this is just because I prefer reading novels but the message did feel quite simplistic at times and like Brecht really wants to emphasise capitalism = bad (although the storyline is still quite complex and the characters are mostly well developed).

This is a materialist fairy tale where "no good deed goes unpunished." It offers sweetness and sadness, a simple homeliness and an idea more grand than the humble circumstances of its birth.
