The ideal of the perfect state. An Angel Descends in Babylon is a theater play in which this ideal is discussed and even lampooned. This satire is displayed with a nice comedic element.
By sending a person who has attained God's grace among people, Dürrenmatt creates a situation where these people do not know what to do after their initial feelings of gratitude pass. What is this tremor? The trembling that arises from the Kurrubi, that is, the living woman who was created from nothing by the light of God, brought by an angel, asking people for a life beyond all wealth. Kings Nebuchadnezzar and Nimrod's inability to leave the throne, the chamberlains' fear of losing their positions, and the ever-changing emotions of the people as a crowd.
Dürrenmatt talks about the mechanics of those on the throne in this play. One goes and the other comes and everything continues in the world as it is.
In this play, Dürrenmatt talks about the powers that control religious institutions on earth putting God up for sale when the time comes. God's commands must be disregarded if they will disrupt the functioning of the earth. Or these religious leaders give a new meaning to God's commands so that their own wheels can continue.
Since Dürrenmatt is a Protestant, he believes in a fatalistic philosophy and seeks happiness with it. With this belief of the author, we see that achieving happiness is about living well. In this play, he deemed living well as worthy of the most worthless of people. To a beggar. This beggar has no interest in money. He desires to live happily.
The author's search for happiness and hope in people manifests itself in the character Melek in the play. This angel has explored the world and, admiring the beauties of the world, says that living here is valuable.
I hope to read the author's other works, which I think are also good.
