demand complicated staging‚ though it does offer lush scenic possibilities‚ as both the film and the musical demonstrated. Shaw’s satire seems muted‚ and for many the play creates its own rather warm world and evokes an era poignantly‚ almost lovingly. Shaw appears to be honestly fond of all his characters‚ even Henry‚ whose introduction in the stage directions sets Shaw’s tone: ``he is so entirely frank and void of malice that he remains likeable even in his least reasonable moments.’’ For a curmudgeon

societal ideals. George Bernard Shaw’s Arms and the Man is a pleasant and humorous attack on both. Shaw uses humor as “a vehicle of thought” thus tending to “obscure his subtle satire on war and the genteel classes and his exploration of the romantic-realist spectrum in human disposition” (Davis 274). These romantic ideals make up the essence of the play’s satirical instances and develop the theme of realism. Shaw satirizes romanticism within Arms and the Man by contrasting romantic idealism and realism

A Manipulative Speaker: Marc Antony’s Funeral Oration George Bernard Shaw once said “Words are the postage stamps delivering the object for you to unwrap.” After the death of Caesar‚ Brutus and Antony give a funeral speech for Caesar. Both are excellent orators‚ and convince the crowds very well. However‚ Brutus made Antony promise that he “shall not in your funeral speech blame us‚ but speak all good you can devise of Caesar.” (pg. 106-7‚ 247-8).

Believing that education should produce humane and responsible citizens instead of docile slaves‚ Shaw displays the evils of an incompetent education system.

“You see‚ really and truly‚ apart from the things anyone can pick up (the dressing and the proper way of speaking‚ and so on)‚ the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves‚ but how she’s treated.” Beauty In Pygmalion‚ Shaw interrogates beauty as a subjective value. One’s perception of beauty in another person is shown to be a highly complex matter‚ dependent on a large number of (not always aesthetic) factors.

Virgil in his famous epic The Aencid recounts the martial exploits and adventures of Aeneid. But Shaw does not look at war with the same eyes as Virgil.
