Summary "Candida" by George Bernard Shaw is a play written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a modest neighborhood in London, centering around the character of James Mavor Morell, a Christian socialist priest, who navigates the complexities of his relationships and the societal issues of his time. The primary themes involve love, marriage, idealism, and the nature of societal responsibility. The opening of the play sets a bustling scene in a lower-middle-class area of London, introducing the environment and atmosphere that frame the characters' interactions. We meet Morell in his study, exemplifying his role as a community figure dealing with invitations for various talks and engagements, revealing his connection to radical groups. His lively dynamic with his assistant, Proserpine Garnett, and later his apprehensive interaction with his father-in-law, Mr. Burgess, establish the tensions surrounding social expectations and familial duties. Candide, his wife, is introduced as a vibrant, life-affirming force, establishing a contrast to the more troubled discussions of ambition and morality that occupy the male characters. The opening acts as a foundation for exploring Morell's feministic qualities and the tender, albeit complicated relationships that shape the narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
