問題詳情:
Bernard Shaw (1856 -- 1950) was born in Dublin, Ireland. With an unhappy childhood, Bernard Shaw did not do well at school but he showed great interest in literature. He left school at the age of 14. In 1876, Shaw gave up his first job and went to London, where he devoted much of his time to self-education by widely reading in the local libraries. Shaw began his literary career by writing novels after he settled down in London. The best known is Cashel Byron’s Profession(1886).
In a period of ten years from 1885, Shaw worked as a critic of music and drama for many magazines and newspapers. In his critical essays, he held the view that art should serve social purposes by reflecting human life, revealing social contradictions and educating the public.
Shaw wrote more than 50 plays, touching upon a variety of subjects. The Apple Cart(1929) is about politics; John Bull’s Other Island(1904) is about racial problems; The Doctor’s Dilemma(1906) is about ignorance and pride of the medical profession.
As a realistic dramatist, he took the modern social issues as his subjects with the aim of directing social reforms. Most of his plays are concerned with political, economic, moral or religious problems. Many of Shavian(蕭伯納的) dramas are constructed around the inversion of a traditional theatrical situation. The inversion is an important part of Shavian dramas. By presenting a hero as a villain(惡魔) or a villain as a hero, Shaw intends to leave a shocking impression on his audience.
Shaw’s plays have plots, but they do not work. The plot is usually the ignored backbone of one long and unbroken conversation. Action is reduced to the minimum, while the dialogue maintains the interest of the audience.
