On The Caucasian Chalk Circle by Bertolt Brecht
In his five act play, The Caucasian Chalk Circle, Bertolt Brecht uses a fantastic story to reveal to us a secret that an age old tale once did. ... The author completes this full circle by displaying how a dispute ought to be judged. I believe that Brecht displays a distinct Socialistic penchant in this play. ... Brecht instead argues that whoever can best use the land should get it. The prologue serves yet another function, allowing Brecht to present his ideas before the play even starts. ...
Brecht then moves on to the five acts. The Caucasian Chalk Circle is actually two stories that come together at the end. ...
After hearing all the arguments and learning about what Grusha has done to take care of the child, Azdak orders a Chalk Circle to be drawn. He places the child in the middle and orders the two women to pull, saying that whichever woman can pull the child out of the circle will get him.
