Mrs. Warren's Profession is a play written by the renowned Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw, in 1906. The play is set in Victorian England and revolves around the story of Vivie Warren, a young woman who has just graduated from university and is about to embark on her career. However, Vivie's life takes a dramatic turn when she discovers that her mother, Mrs. Warren, has made her fortune as a brothel owner.The play explores the themes of morality, social class, and gender roles, and challenges the Victorian conventions of femininity and the expectations placed on women. Shaw uses his trademark wit and satire to critique the hypocrisy of Victorian society and its attitudes towards women.The play is divided into four acts and is set in various locations, including Mrs. Warren's brothel, Vivie's university, and the family home. The characters are complex and multi-dimensional, with Mrs. Warren portrayed as a strong and independent woman who has made difficult choices to provide for her family. Vivie, on the other hand, is a modern woman who is determined to make her own way in the world, despite the obstacles she faces.Overall, Mrs. Warren's Profession is a thought-provoking and engaging play that challenges societal norms and expectations. It remains a classic of English literature and a testament to Shaw's talent as a playwright.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
