For students studying European drama and especially 20th century drama, Bertolt Brecht is a central question. This book analyzes the PLOT and the CHARACTERS of Bertolt Brecht's famous play THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE, giving self-directing questions which help the student in the analysis and guide into the study of similar drama. The characters and their ROLES are also examined. Unlike many literary criticism guides on drama, this book examines only the two areas, recognizing the fact that some college papers only require the student to examine particular areas of literary criticism.
