Exactly how steamy is this story?
PG
Sex is definitely a reality in Mother Courage, but it's not something we hear about or see directly. Kattrin longs for intimacy, according to her mother, but then she goes and gets herself shot. Yvette is a prostitute, eventually becoming the heiress of a rich, elderly general. At different times, both the cook and the chaplain try to shack up with Mother Courage, but nothing comes of it. What can we say, there doesn't seem to be much opportunity for romance during the Thirty Years' War.
