Abstract

The paper starts with a brief introduction, about teaching business ethics, by using theatre plays and literature in general, and about the selection of this play by Lessing in particular. Next follows a summary presentation of the play, its most critical scenes, roles and ingredients. As an open ending to this presentation, a number of questions are formulated which can be used for triggering and structuring student discussion and student papers. Then the paper offers short answers to each of these questions.
