Misalliance Brief Summary:
Misalliance- A Debate in One Sitting
A Book of Social Change The introduction of a Polish acrobat (Lina) who is nothing like the other two women in the play, results in a strange but intriguing plot twist.The actions that ensue upon the arrival of Lina add action and liveliness to the play.From there the play takes off with crazy tales of love and lust and there is truly no way of telling how this will all end. However great for readers, for what Shaw seems to lack in plot for the first half of the play, he makes up with interesting characters and with ideas that are important to address.He addresses not only the relationship between parent and child but he also shows how women are changing as they look to moveto liberate themselves from the control of men.This play shows the evolution of woman in society.Lina is seen as the woman of the future, Mrs. Tarleton is of the past and Hypatia, a woman in between the two, wants to change herself from the times of her mother to follow the footsteps of Lina.

Editorial Review Product Description This valuable collection containing six of Shaw's greatest playsoffers a representative sampling of his genius. Mrs. Warren'sProfession deals with the world's oldest craft and satirizesattitudes that still exist about sexual relations more than 100 yearsafter the play was written. Caesar and Cleopatra claims to bean improvement on the Shakespeare version, and Man and Supermanshows Don Juan as a sort of BertieWooster. Major Barbara takes a jab at religiousprofessionalism, and Heartbreak House explores thesuperficialities of the leisure class. The collection is rounded outby the ever-popular Pygmalion, which was the basis for theimmortal My FairLady. It would take many volumes to hold Shaw's entirebibliography, but for a delicious sampling at a very low price, thisbook is unique. The playwright would be pleased, too, at the book'saffordability: he so believed in economic parity that when awarded hisNobel, he accepted the honor but refused the money. --NancyStarr Customer Reviews (1)

Editorial Review Product Description Hailed as a Tolstoy with jokes” by one critic, George Bernard Shaw was the most significant British playwright since the seventeenth century. Pygmalion persists as his best-loved play, one made into both a classic filmwhich won Shaw an Academy Award for best screenplayand the perennially popular musical My Fair Lady. Pygmalion follows the adventures of phonetics professor Henry Higgins as he attempts to transform cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a refined lady. The scene in which Eliza appears in high society with the correct accent but no notion of polite conversation is considered one of the funniest in English drama. Like most of Shaw’s work, Pygmalion wins over audiences with wit, a taut morality, and an innate understanding of human relationships. This volume also includes Major Barbara, which attacks both capitalism and charitable organizations, The Doctor’s Dilemma, a keen-eyed examination of medical morals and malpractice, and Heartbreak House, which exposes the spiritual bankruptcy of the generation responsible for the bloodshed of World War I. John A. Bertolini is Ellis Professor of the Liberal Arts at Middlebury College, where he teaches dramatic literature, Shakespeare, and film. He has written The Playwrighting Self of Bernard Shaw and articles on Hitchcock, and British and American dramatists. Bertolini also wrote the introduction and notes to the Barnes & Noble Classics edition of Shaw’s Man and Superman and Three Other Plays. |
