Letting me figure "it" out for myself....

MRS. WARREN'S PROFESSION by George Bernard Shaw is a new one for me.  The online class I'm taking this fall hasn't been the most productive idea that I've ever had (we're down to two of us left in the class and the other person isn't posting to the discussion board until the last minute for each lesson), but yet the class is, at least, giving me the opportunity to read a few pieces of British Literature that I've never read.  Shaw's play is one example of that.  The play as a whole does not have much action or much to make it interesting enough to be a play that modern readers would enjoy as much as others.  But I have to say that I enjoyed it simply because the whole play is about how Mrs. Warren is a prostitute, but not once in the whole play is the word (or any word that means the same thing) actually used.  Shaw brilliantly uses the words of his characters as well as their reactions to those words to reveal the truth of her profession.  It's genius.  I love it when I read something and the author lets me figure out what's going on without feeling a desperate need to tell me what to think, feel, or take away from the story.  It's what makes writers like Edgar Allan Poe so genius, and it's certainly what makes MRS. WARREN'S PROFESSION by George Bernard Shaw worth reading.
