Social Message in Jean Genet

Abandoned by his mother at an early age Jean Genet, his father is not certain, felt the pain of this abandonement by the end of his life and he expressed and wrote it at every opportunity. He rebels against the system that leads him to every kind of malice. And by making the social order, which he lives in, liable for the loatsome things he did, he says: “I was asked to be a person who is traitor, robber, despoiler, informant, and swine, devastating, humiliating, and treacherous.” These are not the things that no one would normally prefer. The reason of Jean Genet’s bad condition is primarily family order, then the brutal World which darkens the ophaned children’s life and also Genet’s life, in which poor people are used and the strong ones are just an onlooker, from which Genet hates and he gives his social message throrough malice. Genet tries to give a socail message by showing his experiences in his works. He interrogates the societies, the nations, the religions and all settled rules. Genet aids the peoples who are other religion, other race. He does not want the others gain experience what he experienced. We will study the social message of Genet after summarizing Genet’s life having implicated in the crimes.
