"The Brute" is a one-act play about a man named Smirnov who comes to Popova's house to collect a debt left behind from her late husband. In the text, we see the thin line between anger and passion. Anger can be channeled into a passion. Also, the stress that the possibility of financial ruin can put on someone and how they react.
In "The Brute" we see the thin line between love and hate. Popova will not let go of her grief and move on from her husband's death. She has been moping around for several months and will not let it go. This could be because she is trying to be faithful where her husband wasn't. Love and hate are similar in the fact that they both require a lot of passion, if you really hate someone you will devote a lot of energy
