" Candida" by Bernard Shaw is a play written during the late 19th century that explores themes of gender roles, love, and social responsibility within a domestic setting. The narrative primarily revolves around the character of Reverend James Morell, a Christian Socialist clergyman, and his wife Candida, as well as their interactions with Miss Proserpine Garnett, Morell's typist, and Eugene Marchbanks, a young poet. The play delves into the complexities of Marriage between Morell and Candida and the ideological struggles that arise from their relationships with others. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the suburban setting of the Morell's household and the contrasting atmosphere of Victoria Park nearby. The exchange between Morell and Proserpine establishes his role as a respected, yet somewhat oblivious leader in social matters. Meanwhile, the arrival of Eugene introduces tension, as he expresses his feelings for Candida and begins to challenge Morell's sense of self and authority. The opening acts center around the dynamics of these relationships, with playful banter that hints at deeper emotional undercurrents and foreshadows the conflicts that will come to light as the characters confront their true feelings and ideologies.
