RAMSDEN 🗣 Mr Tanner: you are the most impudent person I have ever met.
TANNER 🗣 I know it, Ramsden. Yet even I cannot wholly conquer shame.
TANNER 🗣 I know it, Ramsden. Yet even I cannot wholly conquer shame.
We live in an atmosphere of shame. We are ashamed of everything that is real about us; ashamed of ourselves, of our relatives, of our incomes, of our accents, of our opinions, of our experience, just as we are ashamed of our naked skins.
Good Lord, my dear Ramsden... The more things a man is ashamed of, the more respectable he is. Why, you're ashamed to buy my book, ashamed to read it: the only thing you're not ashamed of is to judge me for it without having read it; and even that only means that you're ashamed to have heterodox opinions. Look at the effect I produce because my fairy godmother withheld from me this gift of shame. I have every possible virtue that a man can have except...
RAMSDEN 🗣 I am glad you think so well of yourself.
TANNER
All you mean by that is that you think I ought to be ashamed of talking about my virtues. You don't mean that I haven't got them: you know perfectly well that I am as sober and honest a citizen as yourself, as truthful personally, and much more truthful politically and morally.
RAMSDEN 🗣 [touched on his most sensitive point]
I deny that. I will not allow you or any man to treat me as if I were a mere member of the British public. I detest its prejudices; I scorn its narrowness; I demand the right to think for myself. You pose as an advanced man. Let me tell you that I was an advanced man before you were born.
TANNER
I knew it was a long time ago.

RAMSDEN 🗣 I am as advanced as ever I was. I defy you to prove that I have ever hauled down the flag. I am more advanced than ever I was. I grow more advanced every day.
TANNER.
More advanced in years, Polonius.
RAMSDEN 🗣 Polonius! So you are Hamlet, I suppose.
TANNER.
No: I am only the most impudent person you've ever met. That's your notion of a thoroughly bad character. When you want to give me a piece of your mind, you ask yourself, as a just and upright man, what is the worst you can fairly say of me. Thief, liar, forger, adulterer, perjurer, glutton, drunkard? Not one of these names fit me. You have to fall back on my deficiency in shame. Well, I admit it. I even congratulate myself; for if I were ashamed of my real self, I should cut as stupid a figure as any of the rest of you. Cultivate a little impudence, Ramsden; and you will become quite a remarkable man.
RAMSDEN 🗣 I have no ...

TANNER.
You have no desire for that sort of notoriety. Bless you, I knew that answer would come as well as I know that a box of matches will come out of an automatic machine when I put a penny in the slot: you would be ashamed to say anything else.

Man and Superman. By George Bernard Shaw. Full Audiobook "Man and Superman" is a play written by George Bernard Shaw in 1903. The play is a comedy of ideas that explores the relationship between man and woman, capitalism, social reform, and other existential topics. The play centers around Ann Whitefield, a graceful and intelligent young woman, whose father has just died, leaving behind a will instructing that two men become her caretakers. The first man, Roebuck Ramsden, is an elderly civil servant. The second, Jack Tanner, is a well-educated young man who espouses anarchistic ideas. Shaw modeled Turner on a legendary fictional character named Don Juan, a wealthy libertine who spends all his time seducing women. Despite Ramsden’s distrust of Turner, Ann accepts him as her caretaker and eventually convinces him to marry her.
Man and Superman. By George Bernard Shaw. Full Audiobook "Man and Superman" is a play written by George Bernard Shaw in 1903. The play is a comedy of ideas that explores the relationship between man and woman, capitalism, social reform, and other existential topics. The play centers around Ann Whitefield, a graceful and intelligent young woman, whose father has just died, leaving behind a will instructing that two men become her caretakers. The first man, Roebuck Ramsden, is an elderly civil servant. The second, Jack Tanner, is a well-educated young man who espouses anarchistic ideas. Shaw modeled Turner on a legendary fictional character named Don Juan, a wealthy libertine who spends all his time seducing women. Despite Ramsden’s distrust of Turner, Ann accepts him as her caretaker and eventually convinces him to marry her.
The play is divided into four acts. The first act introduces the characters and sets up the plot. The second act is a dream sequence in which Tanner is visited by the ghost of his ancestor, Don Juan. The third act is a lengthy discussion between Don Juan and the Devil about the nature of man and woman. The fourth act returns to the main plot, with Ann and Tanner getting married.
Shaw's original script features a kind of play within a play consisting of Don Juan himself conversing with the Devil in Hell. Not until 1915 did the complete play appear on the stage. Shaw’s title derives from Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical novel, Thus Spoke Zarathustra. In this text Nietzsche uses the term “superman” ( Übermensch) to refer to an ideal, superior version of humanity. This reference implies a more serious theme underlying Shaw’s comedy of manners.
The play is a satire on the conventional Victorian notions of love and marriage. It is also a philosophical work that explores the nature of man and woman, the conflict between the sexes, and the role of the individual in society. The play is notable for its use of long speeches and witty dialogue. It is also notable for its use of the character of Don Juan, who serves as a symbol of the male libido and the anarchic spirit of rebellion.
In conclusion, "Man and Superman" is a thought-provoking play that explores the nature of man and woman, the conflict between the sexes, and the role of the individual in society. It is a comedy of ideas that is notable for its use of long speeches and witty dialogue.
The play is a satire on the conventional Victorian notions of love and marriage and is a philosophical work that explores the nature of man and woman. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the works of George Bernard Shaw or in the history of modern drama.
