    Bluntschili is a realistic man,honest and straightforward while Sergius has just a name of honor and being hero.He is known like that however actually we see that he is not.I think the aim of Shaw is to bring the people down to the earth.He wants to make us see the realities beyond the accepted realities of the society.
