Answer 1

Answer:

Theme of The Book that Saved the Earth'

The play ‘The Book that Saved the Earth’ is based on the theme that half-fed knowledge is always dangerous. It also tells how an old book of rhymes ‘Mother Goose’ saved the world from Martian invasion. The play is set in the 25th century. It brings us back to the twentieth century, five centuries back.

Think-Tank is the Commander-in-Chief and the rulers of Mars. He is praised and flattered as the most intelligent and powerful creature in the whole universe. But Think Tank gives ridiculous and fantastic interpretations of the books in the library. He calls them sandwiches. His misinterpretations of the rhymes of `Mother Goose’ belie all the tall claims. He is nothing more than an ignorant and haughty despot who relishes flattery. The Martians cannot decode the rhyme books and think that Earthlings are not as primitive as they thought. In the end, Think-Tanks stops the invasion on Earth and they all fled.
