〈 영어로 읽는 고전 _ 버나드 쇼의 칸디다〉
극작가 조지 버나드 쇼(George Bernard Shaw)의 코미디 칸디다는 1894년에 집필되었으며 1898년에 처음으로 출판되었습니다. 중심 인물은 성직자 제임스 모렐, 그의 아내 칸디다, 그리고 칸디다의 애정을 얻으려고 노력하는 젊은 시인 유진 마치뱅크스입니다. 이 연극은 빅토리아 시대의 사랑과 결혼 개념에 의문을 제기하며 여성이 남편에게 진정으로 원하는 것이 무엇인지 묻습니다. 성직자는 기독교 사회주의자이므로 쇼(페이비언 사회주의자)가 당시의 정치적 문제를 이야기에 엮을 수 있도록 했습니다.
〈A classic read in English_ Candida by Bernard Shaw 〉
Candida a comedy by playwright George Bernard Shaw, was written in 1894 and first published in 1898, as part of his Plays Pleasant. The central characters are clergyman James Morell, his wife Candida and a youthful poet, Eugene Marchbanks, who tries to win Candida's affections. The play questions Victorian notions of love and marriage, asking what a woman really desires from her husband. The cleric is a Christian Socialist, allowing Shaw (who was a Fabian Socialist) to weave political issues, current at the time, into the story.
Summary
The play is set in the northeast suburbs of London in the month of October. It tells the story of Candida, the wife of a famous clergyman, the Reverend James Mavor Morell. Morell is a Christian Socialist, popular in the Church of England, but Candida is responsible for much of his success. Candida returns home briefly from a trip to London with Eugene Marchbanks, a young poet who wants to rescue her from what he presumes to be her dull family life.
Marchbanks is in love with Candida and believes she deserves something more than just complacency from her husband. He considers her divine, and his love eternal. In his view, it is quite improper and humiliating for Candida to have to attend to petty household chores.
