Question

Keeping Shaw’s portrayal of love among young men and women in mind, can we say that Arms and the Man is an anti-romantic comedy? Why or why not?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes. "Arms and the Man" is an anti-romantic comedy.

Explanation:

• Shaw wrote this play to expose the emptiness and hollowness of romantic love.
• In the play, he ridicules the heroic ideas of love.
• The purpose of writing the play was to make readers understand the love, war, and soldiering are not heroic things.
• They often bring destruction and sadness in the life of a man.
