- W1522604719 abstract "In Arms and the Man (1894) Shaw attempts to shatter his audiences' old-fashioned romantic views of war and love and their stubborn class consciousness by emphasizing a realistic attitude toward life. Yet it is wrong to see Arms and the Man as simply an anti-romantic work, for the play achieves a subtle fusion of romanticism and realism which gives thematic depth to its comic events. Shaw's chief means of developing a play that appears a mere substitution of realism for romanticism into a more complex one that combines both is his consummate art of making reversals. Arms and the Man is a comedy of reversals whose characters and events frequently upset the audience's expectations and defy dramatic conventions. During the course of the play, most of its characters are seen in new perspectives and its events frequently drop in anticlimax contrary to the climactic movement of the conventional drama. The play's main idea is evolved, chiefly by means of reversal, from the negation of false romanticism, through the affirmation of realism, into the advocacy of true romanticism based on realism. In this play Shaw presents a new life style for the progress of human happiness, which should synthesize realism with romanticism. This thesis shows how effectively the Shavian 'reversing' dramaturgy helps to reveal the author's views of war (or heroism), love, and class system-the play's three major topics-and how strongly it enforces the play's main idea." @default.
