Can you please help me with the analysis of The Man of Destiny by George Bernard Shaw?

Analyzing a play is not different from analyzing a novel
or a poem. Structure must be considered and theme,
literary devices, plot, conflict, symbolism and imagery,
setting and time (a distinct part of setting). There are
some href="http://www.vaniercollege.qc.ca/tlc/tipsheets/reading-and-analyzing/analyze-play%2836%29.pdf">features
particular to plays that must be included in an analysis
(Vonier College). One of these is whether the action is
mental or physical action. One might say Death of a Salesman is a
play with mental action as is Faust Part II whereas King
Lear and Faust Part I might be said to have physical
action. Another of these particular features is whether there are
soliloquies and/or monologues.
Another is characters since characters have a singularly
significant function in plays. The final feature particular to analysis of plays is
key lines.

To apply some of
these points to Shaw's The Man of Destiny, it is a
one act play with four
characters, two of whom are the primary characters. It is based on an
historic incident at the early stage of Napoleon
Bonaparte's military career following upon his advancement to General. As such,
Bonaparte is the lead character and an unnamed
Lady is the second principle character. They meet at an inn
and the inn keeper, Giuseppe, is instrumental in helping to
reveal information about them to each other and to the audience. The fourth character,
the Lieutenant, is instrumental in setting up the conflict,
which is introduced at the very beginning of the play and pursued hotly from the start.
The action is mental; nothing physical rally takes place
except for the innkeeper's comings and goings. There are no
soliloquies in this play, but Shaw does give Bonaparte a
monologue (i.e., long speech by one character that
interrupts conversation) that reveals his philosophy and point of view when he, a
Frenchman, elaborates his theory of the national character of the English and of the
English moral conscience (this is in a sense ironic since Shaw is himself an
Englishman).

The plot is a
simple one: a Lady has stolen Bonaparte's letters from his Lieutenant on the highway in
order to remove a personal one written by Josephine to Director Barras and maliciously
sent to Bonaparte. He has encountered her and attempts to retrieve his mail while she
attempts to keep him from reading the contents of Josephine's personal letter. The
conflict of the mental action then is the battle between
them for possession of the physical letters and then the contents of the one letter. The
theme is that of how destiny turns on single events and
remarks. Two key lines are spoken by the Lady because her
brief comments, in the face of sure defeat, turn events in favor of her achieving her
end by raising the right questions and motives in Bonaparte's mind. The lines
are:

LADY.
Nothing— (He interrupts her with an exclamation of satisfaction. She proceeds quietly)
except that you will cut a very foolish figure in the eyes of
France.

and

LADY (springing up with a bright flush in her
cheeks). Oh, you are too bad. Keep your letters. Read the story of your own dishonor in
them; and much good may they do you. Good-bye. (She goes indignantly towards the inner
door.)

The other elements for
analyzing The Man of Destiny you can easily discover through your
own reading of the play while watching for symbolism, imagery, setting,
time, and other literary devices such as
techniques of irony or metonymy
and structural elements like climax
and resolution.
