Abstract:

Abstract In this study violence will be discussed within the famous British playwright Caryl Churchill's play Seven Jewish Children. Churchill was grown up in the 20th century by seeing the pains of living for the longest period of violence and war. Stressing in her plays that violence develops in dominating relationships, she reveals her anti-war stance in Seven Jewish Children staged in 2009, although she was accused of anti-Semitism. With the idea that art should be universal writers, Churchill is aware that artists hold a great responsibility making all people to catch happiness. So Churchill's basic aim of the play is to show the rotten institutions in the community and create a peaceful world by correcting them. Aware that wars threaten human life and democracy, Churchill describes violence which will transform our present and future life to a nightmare in a poetic language in Seven Jewish Children.  Churchill, in this contemporary mystery game, tries to emphasize the negativity created by the war on humanity. In this context, the author, highlights the responsibility of loading the spiritual requirements of society to live in peace in Seven Jewish Children.
