Abstract
The research intends to study Shahid Nadeem’s play The Third Knock from
the perspective of Brecht’s Socio-Political philosophy. It examines the rights
of ownership in the context of the play and argues that the things should be
given to those who can utilize them for the welfare of the society instead of
those who own them through their social powers. At the same time, it also
explores the abuse of power on the part of powerful who exploits the weak
and poor for one’s own benefits. Furthermore, the study endeavours to
highlight the phenomena that the people are unable to implement their useful
plans in the prevailing flawed system where they are oppressed and snubbed.
Simultaneously, it provides encouragement to the handicapped of the society
to keep on struggling to achieve their goals by contributing their potential for
the development of the society. Additionally, it may also be beneficial in the
academic curriculum because Brecht’s works are a part of syllabus in
Pakistan and across the world. In this regard, it may facilitate teachers as
well as students to develop their understanding regarding the Socio-Political
philosophy of Brecht.
