A Trilogy in Paradoxism (Avant-Garde Political Dramas)
by Florentin Smarandache
Category: Literary Criticism

Drama. Not simply an example of paradox in literature or merely a trio of plays from the theatre of the absurd. Smarandache's dramas epitomize the perversion of power and the ambagious nature that plagues today's regimes--regardless of the ideology in which they veil themselves. The nonsensical dialogue, chauvinistic rulings, and paradoxical imagery in these plays mimic a regime's preoccupation with power-dominance, pride, self-grandiloquence, revenge, unpatriotic labeling of the opposition, and an ideology based not on constructive dialogue and equality, but on subjugation or annihilation. The Emperor has no clothes! Like the leader's constituency in Smarandache's dramas, many in today's society choose to hear no evil, see no evil, and speak no evil with regard to their own government--there lies the Axis of Evil...and the paradox!
