Abstract: | The present research tries to explore the existential crisis in G.B. Shaw's Saint Joan. Shaw examines an individual in all aspects of humanity and encourages to protest against the law, the church and the social limitations. The protest extends up to the extent of rejecting life itself. Joan confronts a challenge to her autonomous existence. Life does not give her anything except making her participant in a losing battle. When all other possibilities are over, she accepts death to burn at the stake to prevent herself form being abused and affirms her existence. |
