About this ebook

"Getting Married" by Bernard Shaw offers a witty and insightful exploration of the institution of marriage, questioning societal norms, and the evolving roles of men and women within relationships. Shaw’s humorous yet sharp dialogue presents a series of entertaining conversations that highlight the complexities of matrimony, making readers reflect on the nature of love, commitment, and personal expectations. The play’s characters, each with their unique perspectives, bring to light the practicalities and philosophical questions surrounding the decision to marry. Through these compelling interactions, Shaw touches on themes that resonate with readers both in his time and today.

Shaw’s multifaceted characters represent a spectrum of views on marriage. From the pragmatic and often cynical Mrs. Collins to the idealistic and romantic Edith, these diverse voices encourage readers to consider the reasons behind their own attitudes toward marriage. While humor is a key feature of the dialogue, Shaw’s examination of love, societal pressures, and the shifting roles of individuals within relationships remains both profound and relevant.

With its biting humor and satirical tone,

***** Married balances comedy with deeper reflection on human relationships. It provides a lighthearted yet critical look at marriage and the various factors that influence one’s decision to enter into it. Shaw’s wit and intelligence make the play both entertaining and thought-provoking, making it an enduring classic in the world of literature.

For readers interested in the intricacies of marriage and societal expectations,

***** Married is a perfect read. Shaw’s keen observations will make you laugh, ponder, and perhaps even challenge your own views on love and commitment.

***** “A delightful read, filled with Shaw’s trademark wit and sharp commentary.

***** Married is a hilarious yet insightful exploration of marriage that still holds up today. Shaw’s characters are full of life, and their debates about love and society make for both a funny and thought-provoking play. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys social critique wrapped in humor.”

***** “Shaw brilliantly tackles the subject of marriage with his signature humor and intellect. The play is a fascinating study of human relationships and societal expectations, though some of the philosophical discussions might feel a bit dated. Still, a witty and thought-provoking exploration of love, commitment, and marriage.”

***** “A sharp and witty look at the complexities of marriage. Shaw’s characters bring varying viewpoints on the institution, which makes for an engaging and sometimes humorous read. While I enjoyed the play’s tone, some of the ideas felt a bit antiquated. However, it remains an insightful critique of societal norms surrounding marriage.”

***** “While I appreciate Shaw’s humor and insights into marriage, the play felt a bit too dated for my taste. The characters were interesting, but the themes of love and commitment seemed less relatable in today’s world. Still, it’s an interesting read for those interested in Shaw’s work or social commentary on marriage.”

***** “I found Shaw’s treatment of marriage to be clever and insightful, though I was hoping for more depth in the characters' development. Some sections dragged on a little, but it’s still an enjoyable read for those curious about marriage in the early 20th century. Overall, an interesting but not groundbreaking play.”
