【正确答案】正确答案：Mrs. Warren"s Profession is a play written by George Bernard Shaw in 1893. The story centers on the relationship between Mrs. Kitty Warren, a brothel owner, described by the author as "on the whole, a genial and fairly presentable old blackguard of a woman" and her daughter, Vivie. It centers young, recent Cambridge graduate Vivie Warren"s discovery that her mother"s wealth—and its obvious relationship to Vivie"s own material comforts, education, and station in life—is the product of a prostitution enterprise. The play follows how Vivie"s discovery of her mother"s secret profession challenges and changes their relationship. In this play Shaw accuses the bourgeoisie of making profit by fostering prostitution. The prostitution houses are used as a way for exploitation, and for investment not only by Mrs. Warren, who has been a prostitute herself, but by respectable aristocrats like Sir George Crofts. Therefore, Shaw also exposes the extreme hypocrisy in his society, because at the back of the respectability, moral dignity and nobility of character, all that sort of gibberish uttered by the ruling classes to cover themselves with honors and glory, there are the dirtiest and crudest ways of exploitation with which they make their money and live their grand, civilized lives.
