nature. George Orwell said of Arms and the Man, "It is probably the
wittiest play [Shaw] ever wrote, the most flawless technically, and in spite of
being a very light comedy, the most telling” because the play’s moral--that war
is not a wonderful, romantic adventure--still needs to be told.</span><span style="font-size:13pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(26,26,26)"></span></p>
