Marinetti was one of the most prominent members of the Futurist movement. He wrote the Futurist Manifesto, which outlined the movement's beliefs. In the manifesto, Marinetti called for the destruction of all museums and libraries. He also called for the abolition of religion and the family.

The Dinner

In Essential Drama 35, Marinetti attends a dinner with a group of generals. The generals are impressed by Marinetti's ideas. They believe that the Futurist movement could be a powerful tool for propaganda.

Marinetti uses the dinner to argue that war is a necessary part of human progress. He says that war is a way to cleanse society of its weak and decadent elements. He also says that war is a way to create a new and more powerful world.

The Aftermath

The generals are persuaded by Marinetti's arguments. They decide to use the Futurist movement to promote their own political agenda. They use the Futurist movement to create propaganda that glorifies war and violence.

The Futurist movement had a significant impact on the development of fascism in Italy. The Futurists' celebration of violence and their belief in the superiority of the modern world helped to create a climate that was conducive to the rise of fascism.

Essential Drama 35 is a powerful play that explores the dangers of unchecked nationalism and the potential for art to be used for evil. The play is a reminder that we must be vigilant in our defense of democracy and freedom.
