description: What makes George Bernard Shaw's work great and unique is his interest in human beings. He won the Nobel Prize for the idealism and humanity portrayed in his work. In Three Plays for Puritans, published in 1901, he intended to broaden the reader's horizons. This study, on the published edition of the plays, is concerned with the eternal idea of man's fight between 'good and evil' and a human will evoking moral values which help man to become better. Magorzata Bielecka describes how Shaw's unconventional heroes discover new ways of doing things by following their true nature. They are unloved, lonely individuals who, ruled by morality, can influence the great events that take place in the plays. Bielecka highlights their moving and heartbreaking moments.
