Brecht was a Marxist playwright who proposed a new theater in opposition to Hegel that would drive the audience to action and educate the masses. Characters in Brecht are determined by their social roles and are made the object of society. In Brecht's work, the character is a character-object, acted on by society instead of a character-subject, a free agent acting on the world according to individual will.
