Abstract AR
تهدف الدراسة إلى إيضاح بعض الوسائل التي يستخدمها جورج برناردشو (1856-1950) في مسرحياته و التي تساعد في إظهار روح الدعابة و السخرية فيها، و تم اختيار ثلاث مسرحيات لهذا الغرض و هي : (الإنسان و الإنسان المفتوق) و (الأسلحة و الإنسان) و (كانديدا).
هذه المسرحيات تتناول مواضيع اجتماعية حساسة بروح الدعابة و السخرية.
إن تلك الروح عند برنارد شو لتصدم القارئ باحتمالات غير متوقعة لكن الأخير يكتشف من خلال النص المسرحي أن هذه الاحتمالات أكثر صدقا مما يتوقع.
Abstract EN
This study aims at showing some devices, which George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) uses in his plays that help in clarifying his sense of humor.
Three plays have been chosen for that purpose; they are (Man and Superman), (Candida) and (Arms and the Man).
The plays tackle some social sensitive affairs with Shaw’s sense of humor.
This manipulation of humor shocks the reader with unexpected possibilities.
Nevertheless, the reader discovers upon reading the text that these possibilities are more real than reality itself.
