Nama : Rahmat Lutfi Guefara Analysis Arms and The Man We knows that everybody whom read this

novel is so excited when they read arms and the man. This drama was discussing several points; one of them is the romantic heroics of war; he wanted to present a realistic account of war. It is ot, however, an anti-war play; istead, it is a satire on that attitudes which would glorify war. Another points is idealism; Bernard shaw show that there is no such thing as a perfect human being by making the idealistic characters, riana and sergius, make mistakes such as lying an cheating, and they also confess that the way they act in front of each other is only discusess real love and that it cant be stopped by different social classes as in sergius and loukas case or problem, or by different countries like in bluntschli and rianas case. The last point that was discussed is social class, how they react with each other; the upper class presented by the petkoffs and the lower class presented by the defiant servant louka, also goes with this point that people in the same class are different; for example, nicola is servant who knows how to do his rule well and he respects the people, he works for on the other hand, there is louka who I defiant to the people she serves and shes an ambitious women who doesnt want to spend th rest of her life as a servant. Shaw used satire to send his messages in this drama. He also used coincidence to get to the actions and keep the story going. Another thing he used is narration based on parallel by making counter parts for the main characters; the counter part for rianais louka; and the counter part for sergius is bluntschli. His methods in saying what he wants through the play made it so funny and enjoyable in reading.
