Bernard Shaw's "Unreasonable Man"
View through CrossRef
Although this quotation contains more than a hint of Shaw's talking for effect, it also prefaces the dramatist's exhibition of the qualities of this "unreasonable man," qualities which would enable him to effect social progress. Moreover, although there has been abundant discussion of Shaw's concern with the problems of his society, the definition of the Unreasonable Man, an examination of his qualities, has not been attempted. It is illuminating to define the major qualities Shaw evidently had in mind and to illustrate each from a variety of characters in the plays.
