Shavian

Possibly more than any other Shavian character, Undershaft engenders critical disagreement and discussion, even among the other characters in the play who call him “wicked” and “immoral” and refer to him in Devilish terms such as “Mephistoles” and “The Prince of Darkness”.

As late as the 1960s, Shaw's own Androcles and the Lion was published in his revised alphabet—but the fact that few people have even heard of the Shavian spelling reform shows how futile the effort has been.
