Many writers and artist started to realize from the early 1920s, that their age is slowly becoming ruled by newly invented machines. Many people from the working class could even be replaced by a simple newly invented machine. To demonstrate my point, I have chosen two famous dramas from the 1920s, which try to emphasize the decade’s dehumanizing pressures on the people. My focus will be on the hardships of the modern world and the traps of monotonous work and the chance of becoming meaningless in the community.
