- Abstract
The main objective of the research paper is to find Shavian traits of Superman in Caesar and Cleopatra. Shavian Caesar is quite different from Shakespearean Caesar. Shavian Caesar is having the traits of “Life Force” and “Will to Power” which enables him to capture the whole Egypt. In the first three acts Caesar is Cleopatra’s teacher, but in next two acts she behaves in a queenly way because of Caesar’s influence over her. He handles the situation very intelligently and deals Egyptian army without punishing anyone. He treats his prisoners as guests and releases them as soon as he wins the situation. Cleopatra is all the time busy in chasing him and wants him to be the prisoner of her beauty. She wants to make him jealous, but she cannot do so. Her erotic power is quite appealing but Caesar does not respond her in the way she wants. She is all the time busy in pursuing him but his strong “Life fore” and “Will to Power” makes him an exceptional human being. He wins the war because of his intellects and good tactics.
