Var. Roles Lithuanian immigrants adrift in Chicago work in the stockyards where men are known to have slipped once and emerged from the plant in lard cans. Brecht’s heroine, Joan, “wanted to know” and Brecht, with Marxism an influence and the Chicago Stockyards a setting, is the amiable teacher in the chosen city badly in need of an “entry of mankind…”into its maw.
