Gorky outlines and forewarns the victory of the proletarian revolution. Inside the capitalist hardness of an industrialist and the oppositions that creates in his own class, radiates the necessity of a class struggle. The play combines the representation of reality with the psychological sketching of human characters. The writer undertakes the psychographic analysis of his heroes, whether it is about bourgeois or about workers and all the heroes have questions for the revolutionary events taking place around them.
