Die heilige Johanna der Schlachthöfe

byBertolt Brecht

Genres: Classics

Who is this book for? Readers interested in social issues and classic literature.

Topics CapitalismSocial Issues

Brecht zeigt in der Heiligen Johanna der Schlachthöfe eine große Börsenspekulation in Fleisch und Vieh auf dem Hintergrund einer Überproduktionskrise. Er verlegt die Handlung auf die Viehhöfe und an die Fleischbörse Chicagos, wo infolge des weit entwickelten Kapitalismus die Widersprüche der Gesellschaft besonders deutlich werden. Johanna Dark, ein Heilsarmeesoldat, sieht die von den Fleischfabriken ausgesperrten und hungernden Arbeiter und stößt auf der Suche nach den Gründen der Aussperrung auf den Fleischkönig Pierpont Mauler. Vergeblich versucht er, Johanna für seine Sache zu gewinnen. Johanna, schließlich auch von den Armen verstoßen, geht auf den Schlachthöfen zugrunde. In diesem Stück sind »verwickelte Vorgänge« durchschaubar gemacht. Ihre Gesetzmäßigkeit ist dargestellt und als Mittel benutzt, die Vorgänge zu bewegen.
