Santa Claus: A Morality
''Santa Claus: A Morality'' (or just ''Santa Claus'') is a play written by 20th-century poet E. E. Cummings in 1946. The play is an allegorical Christmas tale consisting of one act of five scenes. In the play, Santa Claus deals with the increasing materialism and lust for knowledge around him and becomes consumed by it because of Death. However, the love Santa has for his family allows him to reject these things.
The play was inspired by Cummings's daughter Nancy, with whom he was reunited in 1946. It was first published in the Harvard College magazine the ''Harvard Wake'' in the spring of 1946.
==Background==
In 1946, Cummings was able to reunite with his daughter Nancy, who was living in the U.S. and married to Willard Roosevelt, a grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt. While painting her portrait, he revealed to her, much to her surprise, that he was her father. This brought about a fresh relationship between father, daughter, and grandchildren. Because of this, Cummings was inspired to write what is considered his most successful play, ''Santa Claus'', which was an expression of his belief in the joys of love.〔
