Bertolt Brecht's "Mother Courage and Her Children" is a seminal work of epic theatre that chronicles the devastating impact of war through the eyes of Anna Fierling, a shrewd canteen woman. Set during the Thirty Years' War, the play illustrates her relentless pursuit of profit amidst the conflict, even as she tragically loses her three children to its brutal realities. This powerful drama critiques the inherent contradictions of war, exposing how individuals can both suffer from and perpetuate its destructive cycle. It presents a stark commentary on human resilience, moral compromise, and the economic forces that drive prolonged conflict, making it a timeless and thought-provoking piece of literature.
