Major Barbara by George Bernard Shaw is a satirical drama that interrogates morality, capitalism, and religion. The play follows Barbara Undershaft, a Salvation Army major, who confronts ethical dilemmas when her estranged father, a wealthy arms manufacturer, offers financial support. Shaw critiques the contradictions of philanthropy funded by violence and profit, blending sharp wit with profound social commentary. The play remains a provocative examination of idealism and pragmatism.
