-       What are the things that attract us to things that destroy us
-       Man = man

-       These people live by the harm they do not by the good
-         They all in different ways profit from the war
-         mother courage denies swiss cheese
-       brecht = “slippery man”
-       wouldn’t explicitly state whether he is communist or not
-       brecht was exiled from Germany
