Thisarticle deals with a particular way of reading Mrs. Warren’s Profession from an ignored point of view. It aims toexhibit the enormous challenges and struggles of a mother to protect herself andher only child from the social and economic constraints of the society. Itmight be regarded as a common duty for a mother to do so; however, what if shesacrifices herself for her daughter by selling her body in the time of VictorianEra when the social constraints were on the rise in terms of moral codes andwhen the principle of “prudery” was adopted? During the Victorian Era, a greatmajority of the plays dealth extensively with the issue of prostitution thatthere appeared a new form of theatre named BrothelDrama. As a social critic, George Bernard Shaw, to attract especiallywomen's attention to their inured subordinate and captived position, wrote Mrs. Warren’s Profession for the determinationof women in more then a hundred and twenty years ago at the time when suchissues were even forbidden to mention. Today, also, “prostitution” not only asan occupation but as a word is also a taboo for the majority of the society. Butunder those unpleasant conditions of mentioned occupation, Shaw drew a mothercharacter representing holy maternal instinct, who struggles to gain a placewithin society for both herself and her daughter. |
