Satirical Analysis on Arguments in George Bernard Shaw's Major Barbara

“If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must man be of learning from experience”.(George Bernard Shaw) This book will knock you on how Christianity faith was humorously criticized by George Bernard Shaw is his times. How reality and faith collide each other and the idealistic and naive might find appalling. The study of life is not like the study of math or science, or even history. While those disciplines are based largely upon fact, the study of life is based upon interpretation, analysis, and evaluation. Each person brings a different set of values and a different background to life. As a result, no two people see the piece of life in exactly the same light, and few critics agree on everything about it. Literature is simply not a black or white situation; instead, there are many gray areas that are open to varying analyses later on. You won’t stop reading this book until it’s finished. I highly recommend this book to the students of semantics, literature, rhetoric/stylistics, and communication who want to deepen and combine satirical analysis in different field of study. God will make a way where there seems to be no way. Be blessed.
