On Thursday, November 7th Barr's desire, I was directed by Evan Parry, directed by Bertolt Brech, I saw Baar's performance. This play is not an emotional drama, it is an intellectual game. It allows the audience to think about the existential nature of Brecht's work and the potential meaning of the drama. I studied existentialism and focused on obeying this script, but I still can not fully understand what Brecht said through Barr. My explanation is that Baal represents people and his desires, and what those desires can cause.
Who is Baal? It is not really the name of a particular god. The bar is a title meaning "Lord". In the Bible translation, we often see the name of the Lord written as "Lord." The word Baal is somewhat similar to that of ancient Canaanans and Phoenicians, but it is attached to the names of several different Gods in history. Therefore, the bar is a substitute for the whole religion of Canaia / Phoenix, especially the poor part of religion accompanied by child sacrifice.
Probably the most famous bar would be Baal-Hadad, a knight above the clouds. The name Hada is named after the god of storm of ancient Sem. The majority of our understanding of this divinity comes from the epic story written in 1300 BC, the bar cycle. On the tablet found by Ugarit, this became West Syrian Canaan City. The tablet is damaged and the text is incomplete, but the story displayed should be familiar to students of ancient myths. The battle fought against two opponents in the story. One is Yam, the embodyment of the sea. The second is the Shinigami, Mott, related to the desert and drought. Yam and Mot represent the hostile natural forces of the Canaanites who live between the dangerous and chaotic Mediterranean and the deserted desert infertile wilderness of Syria.
When reading as a direct and mythical allegory, Bar Conquest Yam and Mot represent nature's domination. In fact, Baal obviously belonged to Mot and it died out; this is Baal's perfect sister Anat Anat beat the death, rescued Baal in battle, suffered from the drought of the storm god's fertility People who returned to the world is the world. Bar-Hada himself is not the most considerate person. Like the Zeus, Indra, Mesopotamian divine Enrile, the Canaan 's "Knight in the Clouds" is a classic god of storm - he is arrogant and violent Boolean. He complains that his palace and banquet is not perfect. Like Zeus, Baal is also very easy to sex with animals, as it may be involved in Mot's escape, but there is still uncertainty.
