Brecht and Social Reality
“What happens all the time is not natural” (Brecht). Discuss
To understand Brecht’s quote, we first need to understand Brecht’s work.
“Social reality is determined, ‘fated’ by a multiplicity of forces, beyond the power of realism or naturalism’s narrow frame to represent. A new form was required, one able to depict forces of a larger scale, and this was to be what Brecht termed Epic theatre.”

Brecht is possibly correct in saying that “What happens all the time is not natural”, in the sense of the natural world. But he is wrong also, as the human race as a culture has created its own natural world for it to settle down in.
