    The document discusses Bertolt Brecht's play The Caucasian Chalk Circle and its themes of justice, ownership, and change. The play-within-a-play takes place after World War 2 in a Soviet village and examines who has the right to raise a lost child. Brecht argues that the child would benefit from being raised for the good of all, rather than just one individual. The play also explores dialectics and aims to be epic by including all of society, unlike realism which does not need to represent everyone.

    CCC- justice and ownership

    Play within a play starting in the Soviet Union and Nazis burned everything they lose so when people
    come back, they discuss if goats or apples should be grown on a particular field, they end up on
    apples, so Brecht says that change is better.

    Chalk Circle is called that because it’s performed in WW2 village in Soviet Union but it’s not in Russia.

    Who has the right to a lost child

    Should be benefit of all and not one.

    If Grusha gets Michael, then he will be loved.

    Dialectic- Thesis {} Antithesis = Synthesis

    Physical manifestation of a dialectic with the acts in the stuff

    Epic because everyone in society is included

    Realism doesn’t need to explore everyone in society.

    If Brecht did SOTA then everyone from Aboriginals to the rich would be seen and Dulcie would grow
    wings and escape as she kills Stan

    Deus Ex Machina

    SOTA is a memory play= Some representational and some presentational
