"Getting Married" by Bernard Shaw is a play from 1908 that challenges traditional ideas about marriage. The story questions whether marriage is truly based on love or driven by societal pressure and money. Shaw uses his strong opinions to show how marriage can trap people and limit their freedom, especially for women, and the start of the play highlights that many people go into marriage with unrealistic expectations, leading to unhappiness and inequality. The play sets the stage for looking closer at marriage and how relationships are formed, under the weight of social norms and expectations.
