Answers
Answer:
Compare and Contrast the Characters of Raina and Lauka. Whom do you think the heroine of the drama Arms and The Man? Give reasons for your answer.
Shaw has been pre-occupied mainly with the exposition of his ideas through the media of plays and this has been more so in so far as Arms and The Man is concerned. Characterization or depiction of characters in their full human round has never his forte. But nonetheless the feminine characters created by Shaw are undeniably marvelous. Raina and Louka in Arms and The Man, Joan in Saint Joan and Ann Whitefield in Man and Superman are some of the unique creations bearing the impress of Shaw’s mature and superb literary merit.
The central theme of Arms and The Man revolves around Raina Petkoff. In fact, Shaw’s aim in this play is to show how a romantic sentimental girl, full of idealistic notions about war, shakes off her illusions and accepts the commonsense views of a commonplace professional soldier and instead of marrying the romantic fool of a hero, she marries the real hero, a plain, common soldier who views things in the light of common day. Born of rich parents and bred in the lap of luxury, Raina has her character and out look shaped by her own peculiar circumstances of life. Polite, genteel and decorous in behaviour, Raina is witty, lively and pleasant in her conversation. She has a quick-grasping intellect with a wonderful presence of mind. But she is romantic and sentimental by her education and upbringing. The romantic literature and thrilling operas have stocked her imagination with visions of romantic love and adventure. She believes them to be real, through not without a tinge of skepticism and dreams to have them realized in life. But it is to be remembered that Raina’s romantic sentimentalism is no essential part of her nature. It is but a mere pose. She wears cloak of romance to hide her real self. She is essentially a woman, every inch of her. She is frank and simple and is full of pity and generosity. She has womanly reserve, dignity of carriage and sense of decency and self respect. These give her character a true feminine charm.
