| description | This study aims to explore the connection between Bernard Shaw’s third play Mrs Warren’s Profession(1893) and the classical topos of recognition, as expressed by Aristotle and as developed by later commentators. From the very beginning of his career as a playwright with The Widowers’s HousesShaw’s plays contain many different layers of recognition. In the case of Mrs Warren’s Professionthe play vibrates on the social, political, moral, cultural and dramatic levels. Mrs Warren’s Professionabounds with characters who pass from ignorance to knowledge. Recognition as a concept presents a wide range of uses from Aristotle’s anagnorisis as a major dramatic device to Hegel’s use of recognition as an essential human need to be satisfied, to Markell’s use of the term as a politically motivated concept. Exploring how the characters of the play passes through all these layers of recognition in the play, this study attempts to interpret the play from the recognition perspective which has not been tried by earlier students of the play. |
