Exp These line, spoken by Valentine to Mrs. Clandon, have been taken from Act III of the play You Can Never tell written by George Bernard Shaw. Here he tells her how he wins the heart of Gloria.
In the duel of sex, men make devices to conquer the hearts of women and women try to resist it by rationality. Mrs. Clandon has fashioned Gloria into a perfect pattern of twentieth century womanhood and is confident that Gloria will resist her weakness for love. Instead of Training Gloria as a shy girl in the old fashioned way, Mrs. Clandon makes a her a new Woman by giving her Higher a Education of woman. This has made her free and unconventional. Mrs. Clandon has given her daughter a scientific education to protect her from the old-fashioned man. But Valentine is not old fashioned. When gloria wants an explanation of man-woman attraction for each other, Valentine describes it in terms of chemistry. His attack in the duel of love is not conventional. He does not go down on his knees before her. Her neither does worship and adore her like a romantic lover. Instead, he embraces and kisses her impetuously. He applies his new method to overcome all the resistance of new woman. His action is more direct and realistic and so he wins the heart of Gloria easily. He thinks that education which Mrs. Clandon has given to Gloria makes her (Gloria) surrender herself to his influence.
