The Doctor's Dilemma by George Bernard Shaw

5.0

I am really starting to understand why George Bernard Shaw is held in such high regard in the literary world. He is an incredible writer. Shaw is one of the most opinionated authors that I have ever come across, but he writes in such a persuasive way that even if my opinion may differ, I still enjoy the story. Doctor's Dilemma was no different. In this play, Shaw toys with the idea of many different kinds of doctors. Doctors all believe that they are right, but often that other doctors are not, so who is in the wrong? Doctors are given our lives in their hands and only they choose if we are to continue to live or not. The concept of the play really makes you think about doctors in a new light. Especially when the main character must choose if he wants to save a dying artist or sacrifice him in order to marry the widow when he has passed.
