| Summary | " Candida: Ein Mysterium in drei Akten" by George Bernard Shaw is a play written during the late 19th century. This work explores themes of love, social responsibility, and the clash of personal desires versus societal expectations, centering around the lives of Reverend Jakob Morell, his wife Candida, and the various characters that interact with them, including Burgess, her father, and the young poet Eugène Marchbanks. The opening of the play is set in the St. Dominik Parish in London during a beautiful October morning. It introduces Reverend Jakob Morell, a socially conscious Anglican priest, who is busy with his work in the parsonage, interrupted by his outspoken typist, Proserpina Garnett. As the scene unfolds, it becomes clear that Morell eagerly awaits the return of his wife, Candida, who has been away. The dynamic between the characters is established, showcasing Morell's warmth and naivety, Proserpina's sharp wit, and the undercurrents of tension regarding societal roles and personal aspirations. As the story begins to develop, the arrival of Burgess and the mention of Eugene signal the potential for conflict and romantic entanglement, setting the stage for the complex relationships that will unfold.
