| 520 | _a"The Passing of Mars: A Modern Morality Play" by Marguerite Wilkinson is a modern morality play written in the early 20th century. This theatrical work engages with themes of war, human suffering, and the struggle for peace, depicting a conflict personified by various characters representing abstract concepts such as Capital, Labor, Religion, and the Soul of Man. The play critiques the cyclical nature of war and the consequences of blind loyalty to outdated ideals. The narrative unfolds in a world on the brink of war, where Mars, the god of war, awakens from a long slumber, hungry for destruction and chaos. The characters of Capital and Labor are embroiled in conflict over their claims to resources, while the manipulative figure of Glamour seduces them into violence. Amidst this turmoil, the Soul of Man, shackled by the powerful forces of war, struggles to break free and advocates for peace and unity. The Old Mother figure offers grave reflections on the past, lamenting the loss and suffering that war brings. Ultimately, the play culminates in a call to action for humanity to recognize their collective strength and to unite against the destructive nature of war, emphasizing the importance of solidarity and compassion for a brighter future.
