Cruel Is The Bun Baker: And This Is An Example Of Social Realism How?[edit]

So a bunch of homely Scandinavian pastry makers (the only reference to Kringle we are given in this article is a link stating that it's a "Nordic variety of pretzel" quote unquote) befriend a girl, some jerk arrives who seduces her and then the men, "all revile her. She is never again seen." And that's the play, eh? Where, exactly, does the Social Realism come in? Am I led to believe that there were surreal prisons where those within were, "looked down on by all around them, including the bun bakers" (?!?) ... And Gorky is revered for this? It sounds more like the plot to an experimental Japanese bukkake film. 12 Angry Men this ain't. Not even 3 Men and a Baby, but I'm sure it means something to someone. Can someone please expand on this? Xenomorph erotica (talk) 15:34, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
