A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth.

Man and Superman

A Comedy and a Philosophy

Bernard Shaw

This play contains an explicit articulation of a major Shavian theme: man is the spiritual creator, whereas woman is the biological “life force” that must always triumph over him. Act III of Man and Superman contains the almost equally famous dream sequence of Don Juan in Hell.
