    relationships. It is quite interesting how Shaw layers meaning within the rather standard comedic plot. Shaw manages to comment on class constructs‚ on the absurdity of war‚ and even on the nature of love. And‚ of course‚ he does this with the Shavian wit and within a satisfying plot. There is so much here to think about that I think a lot can be missed in a single viewing. Arms and the Man is excellent comedic theater and is definitely one of Shaw’s best works. "Arms and the Man" is both an amusing
