In Major Barbara, where is Bernard Shaw's reformist thought reflected?
Bernard Shaw's criticism of capitalist society is sharp and sharp. But because he is a reformist in politics, he put forward the reactionary slogan of "millionaire socialism" in his plays. He believes that "socialism" will bring the greatest benefits to millionaires, and only by relying on millionaires can socialism be built. Barbara and her fiance began to want to save Andreasev's soul, and finally compromised with Andreasev. In the script, the working class appears as a negative force of society, and whoever is beneficial to them will be dominated by them. Workers in Andriesa's military fire factory have high salaries. They are content with the status quo and have no intention of changing the social system at all. In Bernard Shaw's view, Andreasev is a "superman" who embodies vitality, and he is in sharp contrast with the idealist Barbara. The solution of social problems depends on the cooperation between millionaires like Andreasev and intellectuals like Barbara and her fiance. "Millionaires pay, intellectuals manage." This reflects Bernard Shaw's reformist thought.
