CHAPTER

The Ending of Catharsis by Brenda Laurel

Cameron: Brecht is straight up anti-catharsis. Like he does not think plays should have it, right? This is why Brecht's endings are often very jarring, very confusing for the audience. So we can think of Oedipus at Colonus as a kind of catharacteristic moment in that play. And I think here to do, something that's in the mix here that we haven't mentioned yet is that Brenda Laurel is an entrepreneur and tech worker in California in the 1970s through the early 2000s. That's entirely what the last chapter of this book is about in more words than what I just said.
