摘要：

Analysing the two structural parts of G.B. Shaw's play Man and Superman, the paper explores the role of the woman as the Life Force directing evolution towards ultimate perfection. Focusing on the intricate relations between the characters, multiple aspects of the main female protagonists and the main idea of the play, the paper questions the discourse of the author's proclaimed feminism. It re-examines the views of the so-called first wave of feminist literary critics as generators of the discourse regarding Shaw as an indisputable pro-feminist, drawing the reader's attention to the subtle, previously unnoticed mechanisms which seem to reverse his feminist intentions, thus revealing the prevailing ambiguity underyling his representation of woman.
