Arms and the Man, one of the pleasant plays by Shaw, popularly known as anti-romantic comedy is both humorous and intriguingly provocative. The authors have, in this paper, attempted to examine how Shaw has used various dramatic devices in the play to bring out the indispensable themes. Attempts have also been made to see the manner in which the playwright has tried to project a real picture of the contemporary society. One of the obvious features of Shaw’s Arms and the Man is his attacks on the romantic notions of war and love. In effect, this paper endeavours to highlight the various dramatic devices used by Shaw to add effect to his satire.
Key Words: dramatic devices, love, war, play, satire
