This play is a magnificent! It makes one reconsider most of their religous, and political beliefs. The numerous allusions add humor and depth to the novel and also create controversy. Did anyone think that Babara was an abstract representation of Jesus, Peter Shirley-St. Peter, and undershaft-God?<br>

This play was hands down one of the best I have ever read, I'm surprised it isn't taught in schools considering how much it makes one think about oneself. Definetly saw biblical allusions. Shaw never ceases to amaze me.

I checked the other summaries in this forum, and it asks money for subcription.

Are there any free essay website?
