چکیده (انگلیسی):

This paper intends to argue that Mother Courage, the main character of Bertolt Brecht’s play, Mother Courage and Her
Children (1980), fails to support her children financially because of a socio-psychological state defined by Marx as
“alienation”. Mother Courage’s attempt to maintain and secure financial profit leads to a tragic failure because her
endeavor falls into the Marxist category of alienated labor. This reading intends to offer a study of the two major
aspects of “alienation”– ‘alienation and identity,’ and ‘alienation and political,’– in selected play.
