Question 3

What is The Good Woman of Setzuan about?

Accepted Answer

The Good Woman of Setzuan (1943) by Bertolt Brecht is the most fully developed of the Brecht parable plays — three gods arrive in the fictional Chinese city of Setzuan looking for a good person, find only the prostitute Shen Te, and watch as she discovers that it is impossible to be genuinely good in the capitalist system. Shen Te must invent a ruthless male cousin Shui Ta to manage her business while maintaining her goodness; the play ends with the actor stepping out to ask the audience for the answer Brecht cannot provide.
