For Class XI SC (6th Sept) & XI Com (7th Sept) Eng Drama

Arms and The Man pgs 38-39

Have you wondered at the title of our play : Arms and the Man ? What does the title signify ? Write your ideas !

In this section Paul and Sergius continue sharing their story of the Swiss Captain they had met. The conversation becomes more and more uncomfortable for Catherine and Raina as it becomes quite clear to them that the person who is being talked about is none other than 'The Man' who climbed into Raina's room  - when ? can your remember ? go back and refresh your memory ! What is the date on which the events we are reading take place ? Why do you think Shaw has given us an exact date ?

Well, getting back to Catherine's and Raina's discomfort Raina and Catherine are able to stop the two men short in their story stating that they the ladies are affronted by such conversation ! We wonder how convincing they are. Do you think that Paul and Sergius might be even faintly suspicious that the two women in the story could be none other than Catherine and Raina ?

Paul calls the conversation "strong" and Sergius states that the war has made him 'cynical' !

Read down through the section and consider these ideas.

Make sentences with the word : thorough, enchanted, coarse, abominable, seamy, cynical, flinch

Happy reading and working !
