Dealing with the leading character Peer’s life journey, this play starts from his youth：He loafs and wanders about doing nothing during his youth, leads a debauched life during middle age and becomes unhappy and listless during old age. Through Peer’s kaleidoscope-like life, we could see that he has done lots of things, but achieves nothing. In the end, he goes back to the square one and realizes his life approaches its end but he is entirely empty.
