Bias read (Center): While the article touches on historical political figures and power dynamics, it does not take a clear ideological stance. Instead, it focuses on philosophical reflections about theater, truth, and human nature. The tone remains balanced, avoiding overtly partisan language or emphasis on specific政治派
