statement, Please use this to the essay and if you think it needs to be changed you could, just don’t change the core idea too much pls:
In
Bertolt Brecht’s “The Threepenny Opera,” the delineation between
lawful and unlawful activities is deliberately obscured, illustrating a society
without legal boundaries. This essay explores how the opera’s characters,
navigate a world where morality is commodified, and legality is subject to
personal and economic influences. By highlighting the systemic corruption
within both the underworld and the legal system, Brecht critiques the
capitalist, suggesting that in a society governed by profit, the concepts of
justice and morality become malleable, revealing a profound commentary on the
nature of legality.
