Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Middle Class, by J. Rosett We are the contemporaries of a great tragedy: an entire social class - the middle class - is becoming submerged. The tragic phase of this phenomenon is all the more intense because the class which is thus doomed to annihilation occupies the highest intellectual plane in our society. A drowning man is the most immoral person. He will scramble over the heads of his fellows without a thought; and he will drag down to death the hand which is extended to save him. It is in this circumstance that the gross immoralties of Adams, Jones and Anderson, as well as the gentler transgressions of Mrs. Bensal and Mrs. Jones, find their extenuation. But the same shipwreck which brings into play the primeval instincts of man, also offers the opportunity for the manifestation of his social spirit - hence Beacon, Bensal and others. The discerning reader will find that the keynote to the plot of the play is borrowed from the biblical Job. See with what facility Dr. Beacon picks up his friend from the quiet and isolation of the laboratory and hurls him into the social whirlpool, there to struggle with the wreckage of the middle class, from which he finally consents to release him - all this not in the spirit of mere wantonness characteristic of a second-rate devil, but with a high purpose in view - and you will discover in Beacon the sublime Satan.
