Brecht "The Good Person of Szechwan"

The ending of Scene Five concludes the first act. It ends with Yang Sun’s line, “And that’s the way it goes.” The ending is so unsatisfying and selfish that the audience is left feeling dirty themselves. On a personal note, if I were ever to fall in love with a “Bad Boy with a Good Heart,” I have now been cured of that notion. Brecht has removed all of the romance from the equation and shown exactly how selfish Yang Sun’s love is.
