Literature Companion: The Good Woman of Setzuan

By History World

The central theme of the play is qualitative goodness. To live a good life, Shen Te has to live under the guise of both Shen Te and Shui Ta.

The author seems to be conveying a very important fact that the economic systems determine the morality of a society. The author’s interest in historical materialism is quite evident.
