Seeing clearly within himself and
always able to dodge around the
ends of any position, including his
own, Shaw assumed from the start
the dual role of prophet and gadfly.
To his contemporaries it appeared
frivolous and contradictory to
perform as both superman and
socialist, sceptic and believer,
legalist and heretic, high-brow and
mob-orator. But feeling the duty to
teach as well as to mirror mankind,
Shaw did not accept himself as a
contradictory being.
