As I was the captain of my team, I behaved very strictly and authoritative with my colleagues. I can say, by all means, that my intentions were for the best, and under no circumstances I wanted to act severe with my team. My only goal was to win the competition and I was so fond of this idea that I no more paid attention to the feelings of the others. Working became frustrating and annoying for the rest of the people and it is understandable why I was soon deprived of my captainship.
I was extremely depressed and confused. Everyone blamed me for wanting to win, which I felt was very unfair. My mother was the one playing an extremely important role. She made me understand where I had mistaken and why it was my responsibility to apologize to the others. I remember her words exactly, as they had a very strong impression on me. "Persuading the best is honorable, but persuading perfect is insane" she said, and these words resound to me every time I have the tendency...
Man and Anti-Superwoman: The dramatic art of Shaw's "Man and Superman" Although George Bernard Shaw paints himself as a revolutionary iconoclast in the concluding afterward to his play, "Man and Superman," ultimately his philosophy is anti-feminist.

And what's more, she'll force us to advise her to do it; and she'll put the blame on us if it turns out badly" (p. 52). It is fitting that Ramsden's role in the dream is the statue. During a discussion in Act III between Don Juan, the
Critic Bloom notes, "The certainty and resolution of Joan's faith were central for Shaw. As a result, he could not really render the moving sense of humility expressed in the phrase Jeanne used so frequently in the trial: 'I wait on Our Lord'" (Bloom 133). As the play progresses, more people begin to see Joan as a "miracle," and in Shaw's definition of a miracle, faith is intertwined. He
Mrs. Warrant's Profession: The Intellectual, the Victim, and the Conventional Woman Mrs. Warren's Profession" by George Bernard Shaw was a play written more than a hundred years ago in 1894 The roles that women play in this masterpiece show that Shaw was far ahead of his time in his thoughts about what women should do and be.
