Man and Superman
''Man and Superman'' is a four-act drama written by George Bernard Shaw in 1903. The series was written in response to calls for Shaw to write a play based on the Don Juan theme.〔https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3328/3328-h/3328-h.htm〕 ''Man and Superman'' opened at The Royal Court Theatre in London on 23 May 1905, but omitted the third act. A part of the act, ''Don Juan in Hell'' (Act 3, Scene 2), was performed when the drama was staged on 4 June 1907 at the Royal Court. The play was not performed in its entirety until 1915, when the Travelling Repertory Company played it at the Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh.
==Summary==
Mr. Whitefield has recently died, and his will indicates that his daughter Ann should be left in the care of two men, Roebuck Ramsden and Jack Tanner. Ramsden, a venerable old man, distrusts John Tanner, an eloquent youth with revolutionary ideas, saying "He is prodigiously fluent of speech, restless, excitable (mark the snorting nostril and the restless blue eye, just the thirty-secondth of an inch too wide open), possibly a little mad".〔(Shaw, Bernard. "Man and Superman: Act I." Bartleby.com. )〕 In spite of what Ramsden says, Ann accepts Tanner as her guardian, though Tanner doesn't want the position at all. She also challenges Tanner's revolutionary beliefs with her own ideas. Despite Tanner's professed dedication to anarchy, he is unable to disarm Ann's charm, and she ultimately persuades him to marry her,〔("Character of Ann Whitefield in Shaw’s Man and Superman." ''Studying English Literature.'' 4 July 2008. )〕 choosing him over her more persistent suitor, a young man named Octavius Robinson.
