Other important plays by Shaw are Caesar and Cleopatra (1901),and the Lion (1912).In Major Barbara (1905),one of Shaw's most successful discussion plays,the audience's attention is held by the power of the witty argumentation that man can achieves aesthetic salvation only through political activity,not as an individual.The Doctor's Dilemma (1906),is really a comedy the humour of which is directed at the medical profession.Candida (1898),with social attitudes toward sex relations as objects of his satire,and Pygmalion (1912),a witty study of phonetics as well as a clever treatment of middleclass morality and class distinction,proved some of Shaw's greatest successes on the stage.It is a combination of the dramatic,the comic,and the social corrective that gives Shaw's comedies their special flavour.
Notes:
critic n.评论家 ②hypocrisy n.伪善 ③aesthetic salvation审美救赎
