Partners in a Moral Crime A Social study in George Bernard Shaw's Play Widowers' Houses

Abstract

          The madly  rush upon  money may  derive a person  to sell the values and ethics  ​​that he is supposed to enjoy having. The human emotions could be  affected by the  exaggeration of the  greed for money  and also magnifies  its negative impact on a noble feeling  like love, but is love a parcel  to be bought and sold by money and for the sake of money? Is it not  a supreme value upon which there isn’t any compromise? If  the case became that business becomes the justification for the rich to profit from the sweat and misery of the poor and disadvantaged, is there  any sense of love and compassion left in them?   George Bernard Shaw in his play  Widowers' Houses gives answers to these questions outweighing  money on morality and love in the time when  feelings  become of little value, and the collected  money becomes the measure of manhood and success .In such time ,there is no  place for  true love in the world of business. Bernard Shaw grants his pen the freedom to portrait  money  in the figure of a contagious disease which attacks the rich to make themselves richer ,and the poor get the disease  from the rich so that they might exceed the poverty situation even if it is at the expense of their feelings, sympathy and morals  .
