Overview of Man and Superman Book
| Title | Man and Superman |
| Author | George Bernard Shaw |
| ISBN-13 | 9788119222773 |
| Publication | NEWGEN TROVE BOOKS |
Man and Superman, deftly etches Shaw's concept of the ‘life force’ and is a beautiful satirical rendition based on the relationship between the sexes, the primeval forces of creation. The play has been aptly sub-titled A Comedy and a Philosophy, and carries his belief in the continued skirmish between man as spiritual creator and woman as guardian of the biological continuity of the human race. The play is often performed as a light comedy of manners, but then there are some deeper levels of realization that the readers experience after reading it through. Man and Superman is set against a backdrop of Victorian era where an attractive young woman, Ann, manipulates John Tanner, reputed as a highly intelligent social revolutionary into a nuptial bond. The play is delightful on account of its witty, intellectual dialogue exchanges. The whole play is replete with discussions of ideas on capitalism, social reform, male and female roles in courtship, and other burning and curious topics of interest. The long speeches are dramatically stimulating. Ann is left under the care of two men, Roebuck Ramsden and John Tanner. Ramsden has been portrayed as older with a distrust for John tanner who has been described as “prodigiously fluent of speech, restless, excitable (mark the snorting nostril and the restless blue eye, just the thirty-secondth of an inch too wide open), possibly a little mad”. Tanner is “a sensitive, susceptible, exaggerative, earnest man: a megalomaniac, who would be lost without a sense of humor”. And Ann decides to persistently pursue him and finally breaks his bachelorhood status by marrying him and choosing him over her more constant suitor, Octavius Robinson, a young man and Tanner's friend.
