Title: a review
Review: i had to read John Bull's other island and major barbara for a literature class. i really disliked both of them. major barbara included a preface all about poverty and how the jails should be emptied. (apparently, shaw was a socialist.) it was really pretentious and he just made me really mad. the plays themselves seemed really dry and dull. i don't think this is the fault of the class because i really liked other things we read. it just seemed like the characters were really one dimentional, the social message shaw was trying to get across was the real focus of the play. i resent that. i don't read plays to be (primarily) lectured to. they were pretty unentertaining, too.
