Bertolt Brecht, writer of many famous plays, poetry and prose, undoubtedly aims to make certain points in “The Life Of Galileo” written in 1943. Being a modernistic Communist and a Marxist at relatively early stages of his life, he was opposed by Hitler’s Regime. ... He was not unlike Galileo, with certain characteristics appearing coincidental between the two. ...
Not unlike other plays and poems written by Brecht, he and The Life of Galileo divert from theatrical illusion and emotional restraints, rather highlighting ideals valued by Communists and attempting to emerge more subtle points that influence the reader in different ways. ...
Sagredo is a true friend to Galileo and has been for many years. He is the role-model figure in Galileo’s life and this is shown when Galileo announces the supposed new invention, the spyglass and other discoveries. Sagredo is the law abiding faithful friend who always wants what is best for Galileo. ... Sagredo faithfully warns Galileo of any misconceived ideas about the universe that contradict the churches preaching’s and is very sincere when Galileo seems to be in danger of committing heresies, in the mind of the church. He raises the important point that Galileo has been teaching the Ptolemaic system proclaimed by the church and has confirmed the writings of the church for years and has suppressed his true beliefs and hypothesis’s.
