Answer to Question #157056 in English for Chris

Question

From the play, Bad News Pluto by Peter Keel, what historical issue is being exposed in this play?

Answer 1

The play exhibits the various reclassifications of group identities that were a common occurrence throughout history. In the play, Pluto is regrouped as a dwarf planet. The move, however, turns favorable for him as membership in the dwarf planets poses better terms than that of the real planets. It manifests some of the common occurrences in history such as the secession and the reformation that were marked by either reclassification or expulsion from identities and alliances.
