Talk:J.B. (play)

Latest comment: 5 years ago by Billfalls in topic '...zuss is also German for "sweet"'

Having created this article, I recognize that the plot summary may be a bit POV. Since it's hard for me to identify myself I'd like an outside opinion: by all means, change the summary and interpretation if they're too biased. Reediewes 07:33, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

It looks like a pretty straightforward presentation to me. As long as God, Satan, History, Science, and Religion are the standard interpretations, I don't see anything that could be biased. Isomorphic 08:17, 15 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

I'm uncertain about the expansion of the play to a 3-act version. I have a version published 1986 (isbn: 0395079497) and it is still a 1-act play with 11 scenes. This seems to have been the Pulitzer-winning version. I'd be grateful for more info on this... --JECompton 00:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

'...zuss is also German for "sweet"'

edit

I know of no such word in German. It might be accurate to say "zuss is also an English phonetic approximation of the German süss 'sweet'," if the writer can document that this was what MacLeish intended. Billfalls (talk) 05:44, 3 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
