“Hello darlings…”
Sometimes it is a good idea to sit down and analyze Cabaret, it’s one of those plays that can be analyzed 101 and different ways, and each time you analyze it you think of something new.
For instance, what does the bi-sexual emcee really represent, when he is not seen by the rest of the characters, but is doing something that influences the rest of the scene. E.G. throwing the brick, taking the cigarrete from Cliff Bradshaw on the train while not being scene and singing along with him; was it meerley being creative, or perhaps, the Emcee is meant to represent the duality of humanity.
He is bisexual, racist, Jewish (according to the ending), and “dirty” but in a way that relates to many; perhaps he is truly what people want, a real life and a sex life; one that would be completely sepearte from each other.
More theories later…
