Treatment of Democracy in G.B. Shaw’s The Apple Cart

Abstract

Throughout his life George Bernard Shaw has wrote copiously almost on everything under the Sun. He has written more than fifty plays, which picture the socio-political, economic, religious, moral life of the world around him. He rather depicts the spirit of his tines through his dramatic works. It is his good luck to be born as a modernist. He is in no sense an escapist but a man and a writer who bravely faces the multiple, vexing problems of his day and endeavors to suggest a remedy for all the human ills that inflict mankind. He is a pragmatic thinker and a writer who always upholds the cult of human liberty, equality and fraternity. His writings, particularly his great dramas, have opened up new windows to let in fresh, invigorating air on the humdrum human situation and its stage. His satirical onslaughts do not spare the social, political, religious, moral evils of the day.
