However, the trial takes a dramatic turn when it is revealed that Blanco has also committed a murder.The play explores themes of justice, morality, and the nature of sin. Through the character of Blanco, Shaw questions the traditional notions of right and wrong and suggests that morality is not always black and white.The play was controversial upon its release in 1909 due to its frank discussion of sexuality and religion. It was even banned in some parts of the world. However, it was also praised for its boldness and originality.Overall, The Shewing Up of Blanco Posnet is a thought-provoking play that challenges conventional ideas about morality and justice. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the works of George Bernard Shaw or in exploring complex ethical issues.BLANCO. Not they. Hanging's too big a treat for them to give up a fair chance. Ive done it myself. Ive yelled with the dirtiest of them when a man no worse than myself was swung up. Ive emptied my revolver into him, and persuaded myself that he deserved it and that I was doing justice with strong stern men. Well, my turn's come now.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
