Later, he is arrested by the British and sentenced to death but is rescued in the nick of time by a local militia commanded by Anthony Anderson, who, ironically, is a pastor.

According to George Bernard Shaw, Joan of Arc was in fact one of the first Protestant martyrs. She was one of the first apostles of nationalism, and the first French practitioner of Napoleonic realism in warfare. She also refused to accept the specific woman's lot, and dressed and fought and lived as men did. Shaw's exploration of the story of this ingenuous and eponymous heroine is set in six scenes and an epilogue, which takes place in 1456, when the church cleared Joan of the charge of heresy and condemned her accusers of corruption.

Shaw denkt Mozarts Oper weiter und läßt die Hauptfiguren aus "Don Giovanni" nach ihrem Tod in der Hölle über die Welt, das Leben und die Liebe diskutieren. Der Don-Juan-Mythos wird dabei, gemäß Shaw's These von der "life force", völlig umgekehrt, der Verfolger der Frauen wird nun selbst zum Verfolgten. Er wird als Denker gedeutet, der sich seiner Aufgabe, bei der Schaffung des Übermenschen mitzuwirken, entziehen will. Aber gerade durch das Wagnis, die Grundfragen des Lebens kraft seines Intellekts zu lösen, dient er (wie Shaw später auch in "Back to Methuselah" darzulegen versuchte) dem eigentlichen Ziel des Lebens: der Befreiung von den Fesseln der Materie und damit der Verwirklichung des Daseins, in dem die schöpferische Intelligenz sich voll entfalten kann.

Arms and the Man is a comedy written by George Bernard Shaw, and was first produced in 1894 and published in 1898, and has become one of the most popular of his plays. Like his other works, Arms and the Man questions conventional values and uses war and love as his satirical targets. He delightfully pops the bubble of the 'brave soldier' always wishing to charge into battle and shows (I think) how people stay the same whether in uniform or not and are not magically changed into different people. A cautious soldier can be just as admirable as a reckless one. View our full collection of podcasts...
