"...the Hoka skirled forth a coronach." (p. 75)
"The warriors kept bringing him rich fruit and drink and then expected him to give an a capella concert." (p. 82)
What is George Bernard Shaw's Man And Superman about? How does it connect with Nietzsche's Superman? Why is Chapter 7 of Star Prince Charlie called Man and Superman? We, or at least I, read Star Prince Charlie without reflecting on the chapter titles. Having just reread this chapter, I still do not understand the relevance of its title. I am about to reread Chapter 13, Fahrenheit 451, so this time I will pay attention and try to discern the significance of the chapter title.
In Chapter 12, The Return of the Native, a young New Lemurian returns to his home village. The content of this chapter is serious and far removed from Hoka comedy.
Kaor, Paul!
ReplyDeleteI had wondered about that chapter title, "Man and Superman." But I did not think of G.B. Shaw's work. I thought it might have had something to do with Nietzsche's ideas about the "superman."
