Bertolt Brecht

A full understanding of Bertolt Brecht’s dramatic background needs to look at the socio-political context in which he was writing such as the structure of the state, and the class struggle. Bertolt Brecht’s aggressive political idealism and determination in using art to pose challenging questions about the conflicts between society and morality generated intense controversy throughout his lifetime.

This is why he endeavoured to arouse people from their inactivity and listlessness.
