A Study on Brecht’s The Good Woman of Setzuan
A Study on Brecht’s The Good Woman of SetzuanEnglish Literature and Language Review ELLR Each play is produced with the use of a different method, and one of the methods which has a significant influence on drama is constructed by Bertolt Brecht. According to him, the best way to show his reaction against the system and stimulate the audience to take action against such system is epic theatre. His aim is to create a conscious society. For this aim, he uses epic theatre to create a distance between the play and the audience so that the audience can gain a critical insight. The reason is that such distance makes the audience use their reasons not feelings, which creates the feeling of rebel against the system including politics, economy (Benjamin, 1969). This helps the audience question the system and give the strength to change it. In order to activate the audience, he uses certain techniques of alienation based on distance between the audience and the play in epic theatre (Akçeşme, 2009). The Good Woman of Setzuan by Brecht is a significant play to analyse such techniques. With the techniques, he shows the injustice against the lower class and class distinction in the play. In other words, he leads the audience to question the capitalist society. Such techniques as giving a distant setting, the communication between the actor and the audience and the use of songs and verses can be observed throughout the play in order to break the illusion. Thus, this paper intends to analyse the techniques of epic theatre in the play The Good Woman of Setzuan to understand how Brecht break the automatized perceptions of the audience and show them a different world with the aim of rebel against the capitalist system.

Pathogens and immune system
Pathogens and immune systemjperezmuniz Pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, protists, and fungi can cause infectious diseases when they enter the body. The immune system provides defenses against pathogens through mechanical barriers like skin and mucus, chemical barriers such as stomach acid, and immune cells that destroy pathogens through phagocytosis and antibody production. Antibodies are proteins that bind to antigens on pathogens. Memory cells provide long-lasting immunity against pathogens the body has previously encountered through vaccination or prior infection. Vaccines work by exposing the immune system to weakened or dead pathogens to stimulate antibody and memory cell production.
Max weber essay
Max weber essayjperezmuniz Max Weber was a German sociologist who analyzed forms of social and political organization. He identified three types of legitimate domination: charismatic, traditional, and rational-legal. Charismatic domination relies on devotion to an exceptional leader. Traditional domination accepts the authority of dominant individuals or groups based on tradition or culture. Rational-legal domination follows an established legal system with written rules and regular political procedures. Weber believed rational-legal domination would become more prevalent and that it should be applied in Germany to move beyond traditional systems.

He identified three main types: charismatic domination based on devotion to an exceptional leader; traditional domination where subordinates accept the authority of elites like landowners or clan leaders based on tradition; and rational-legal domination based on an established legal system and constitution where authority derives from legal rules and procedures rather than personalities. Weber believed rational-legal domination would become more prevalent and that it should be applied in Germany to move beyond traditional systems and establish clear legal codes and a rule of law.

Looking glass
Looking glassjperezmuniz The document is a short story that contrasts the protagonist Isabella's personality as seen from inside her home versus outside, through her appearance. Inside, her mind is in constant movement with lights, shadows, passions and sorrows, representing her turbulent thoughts. Outside, she presents as having white and violet blossoms, burning roses, and picking fanciful things, representing her appearance of having friends and being rich. When she sees her reflection in a mirror, it exposes her true self - that she is empty, has no thoughts or friends, and cares for nobody. The mirror strips away the superficial and reveals only the truth, that inwardly she is "dead alive."
The lady in the looking glass
The lady in the looking glassjperezmuniz The story uses a mirror as a metaphor to examine Isabella's inner and outer selves. Through reflections in the mirror, the narrator constructs a portrait of Isabella using descriptions of chaotic, obscure objects inside her home representing her inner turmoil and organized objects outside representing her superficial outward persona. In the end, the mirror reveals Isabella's true empty nature without thoughts or feelings, showing the disconnect between her inner and outer selves. The story suggests one's inner self may not be fully knowable but can be revealed through self-reflection like gazing into a mirror.
