Conclusion on chapter I
To put it briefly, Bernard Shaw's prowess as a thinker surpasses his skills as a dramatist. If only he possessed better abilities in directing action, he would have garnered more success in the realm of drama. Nevertheless, some of his scenes are nothing short of magical and stand out as his finest work as a dramatist. The play "Caesar and Cleopatra" boasts of several poignant scenes, while The Devil's Apprentice, Candide, The Doctor's Dilemma, and many others contain delightful twists and turns that rank among the best in English prose drama.
All these scenes are woven into the narrative in such a unique style that readers cannot help but pay attention to them. In essence, Bernard Shaw created a new genre of drama that places emphasis on discussing ideas, which he considers to be of utmost importance in both past and present drama, rather than mere actions.
Shaw's perspectives frequently stirred up debate; he supported eugenics and changing the alphabet, but was against vaccination and organized religion. He aimed to maintain his unpopularity by criticizing both sides as equally responsible for World War I and denouncing British policy towards Ireland in the post-war period, despite not being a republican. These positions did not have a lasting effect on his reputation or productivity as a playwright; during the interwar years, he produced a variety of ambitious works that achieved varying levels of success. In 1938, he presented the script for the film version of Pygmalion, which earned him an Academy Award. His interest in politics and controversy persisted; by the late 1920s, he had largely abandoned the gradualism of the Fabian Society and frequently spoke and wrote approvingly of both right- and left-wing dictatorships - he even expressed admiration for Mussolini and Stalin. In the final decade of his life, he made fewer public statements, but shortly before his death at the age of ninety-four, he disavowed all public honors, including the Order of Merit in 1946, and continued to write prolifically.
