Ares was the Greek god of war, Mars was the Roman equivalent, and Tyr was worshiped by the Norse. Yasmina Reza, an award-winning actress and playwright, created the play 'God of Carnage', which won a Tony Award in 2008. The storyline follows two sets of parents of feuding children trying to resolve their issues civilly. However, as the evening progresses, the adults regress into chaos and accusations, reflecting on the self-interests that undermine societal civility.
Ares represented the Greek god of war, while Mars served this role for the Romans; Tyr held the same position for the Norse.
Yasmina Reza's 'God of Carnage' showcases the degeneration of adult civility when parents attempt to resolve a conflict between their children.
The play illustrates that what is considered a 'civilized' society often caters to personal self-interests rather than true civility.
As the night progresses, the once-controlled atmosphere deteriorates into childish bickering and chaos among the parents.
