This is a beautiful play (30pg – it takes place during the Spanish Revolution), and it is basically a theatrical presentation of the argument between advocates of non-violence, and advocates of real change, and real struggle (i.e. advocates of armed resistance). Brecht is very effective, rhetorically and logically, in putting forward the argument for armed struggle, and I also like that he gave a fair view of religion's role in violent resistance (which is often hard for non-believers), since he not only mentioned the role of the clergy in advocating “non-violence” bullshit, but he also made it a point to say that many priests, and other clergy had died fighting against the fascists. Yet, as the eloquent and entertaining writer that Brecht is, the play does not lack at all in emotion or entertainment, although it is heavily focused on advocating a certain political message, and personally I even cried at the end, that is how beautiful, engaging, and timely it is.
