"Focused on English society and politics, the play "Hands and Man" by the famous English playwright Bernard Shaw convincingly demonstrates the author's skill in combining acute social conflict with funny situations. The main characters of the work, Sergius and Raina, represent two opposite philosophies of life that collide in a risky scene of a military conflict. This comedy is built on a sharp controversial scenario that constantly pushes the reader to the conclusion about the absurdity of military conflicts and military heroics. "Hands and a man" is a work that makes you think about the value of historical stereotypes and the concept of true courage.
