[edit] Comment
The sentence:
- Eventually Shen Te's role-playing is uncovered by the townspeople, and her personal trials climax as she is brought into court to face charges for her duplicity.
is incorrect. Only one person learns of her dual identities. Shui Ta is brought to court over the possible murder or illegal incarceration of Shen Te. 127 00:37, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
"[Brecht was] living in temporary self-imposed political exile" - there's so much wrong with this sentence, I don't know where to start...
Can someone put a spoilers warning before the plot summary? MlleDiderot 01:58, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
I know it's not easy to write a plot summary but I think this needs some work. The pilot Sun doesn't get a mention here. Nor does the baby that Shen Te is expecting by him and they are both at the absolute centre of the piece and what unravels 'Shui Ta'. The baby is the embodiment of Shen Te's absolutely normal - and natural - humanity. But in this world - it's her undoing... That's the dialectic at the heart of the piece.
The plot summary and the introduction need to take that into account. Charlesp 13:59, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
It's in great need of serious attention, yes. Care to have a go? If you do, I would recommend trying to distinguish between a neutral, objective description of the events of the plot, of which the synopsis ought to consist, and interpretation and analysis, which should come in a later section--that is to say, the synopsis should not be a Fabel.

[edit] What about Sun?
I think one of the key sub plots in this story is of the love she has for sun and how he uses this to her advantage. its a beautiful scene when the first meet him desperate and about to end his life and then they share their first kiss. and we are lead to think this is love, infact it is sun using her from the very start but i do think he likes her really but is to desperate to care.
