Essay Instructions: The following is the first page of the paper I need assistance with...
George Bernard Shaw's Man and Superman is a romantic comedy that defies conventional courtship. Whereas traditionally, a woman is hunted by, and ultimately submits to a man; in this play, Ann Whitefield is in relentless pursuit of John Tanner. All of the major thematic developments center on the idea of progression. John Tanner is a revolutionist who strives to avoid the ideas and customs he views as old an obsolete. The traditional acts of courtship and marriage are unappealing to Tanner. Yet, in contrast to his beliefs, he feels a strong attraction to Ann.
Shaw believes that this attraction is the natural ?Life Force? that continually perpetuates the procreation of the human race and facilitates the evolution of mankind. The idea of Superman is that man works to create something superior to him, bringing about continual improvement and progression with every new generation. Thus, it is the responsibility of men and women to bring about this improvement. Ann?s innate act of self-preservation is what drives her to pursue Tanner. However, Ann?s persistence forces Tanner to flee. His view is that love, courtship and marriage are mere distractions that inhibit his ideology, progress and self-improvement. Ann?s unconscious mind is superior to Tanner?s self-awareness. Her ability to listen to nature and allow it to guide her actions leads Tanner to eventually surrender; for he then realizes that progress, or improvement, is not possible without preservation.
Shaw perceives certain qualities that define the Superman. Throughout the play, Ann is ambitious in her pursuit of the man who challenges her and is fully aware of her ability to manipulate others to get what she wants. She does whatever is required to fulfill her needs. Moreover, although Tanner is intuitive to Ann?s tactics, in the end, he is manipulated. He concedes the inevitable and requests her hand in marriage?
Our assignment is to write on which character from the play comes closest to having the qualities of the Superman and why. There needs to be material incorporated from the text that supports the thesis without ?summarizing? or being too generalized. I am requesting five pages that would continue from my opening page. In other words, I have already started the paper with my thesis statement and I need five pages that support it. There may also be a paragraph or two that shows why some of the other characters fall short, especially Octavius.

Essay Instructions: You will need to write a non-trivial thesis on the topic you choose, and then develop that idea convincingly with close reasoning from the evidence in the play.(Topic: Sacred cows and the work of an iconoclast in man and superman.)The essay should be 400 to 600 words long, but you can go as hiah as 1000 words if you need the space to make your case. Title your essay however you please.
