This is a materialist fairy tale where "no good deed goes unpunished." It offers sweetness and sadness, a simple homeliness and an idea more grand than the humble circumstances of its birth.

Es ist gar nicht so einfach Shen Te sein zu wollen und als Shui Ta leben zu müssen.

Had to read it in school in 13th grade and actually read it. It was quite funny in an unwanted way I think (some formulations). At the beginning easy to read but as it went on it got more confusing because of the many different characters and what they really wanted and only pretended to want. Plus we've talked about in school for about 20 weeks too long, it just got annoying. Brecht himself is quite an interesting topic though.
