Abstract
Different Shades of Love, Sex and Marriage in the Comedies of W.S.Maugham’ deals with his different approaches to love, sex and marriage. Maugham was very practical and subtle in his approach to love. Being a medical man, he believed that love was a biological requirement based on sex. Actually, it was sex which predominated and love hardly existed in life. Maugham was always scientific and logical.Maugham proved to be a greater psychologist in his comedies; he added humour with love and sex. Being a scientist, he emphasised the element of sex as the fundamental aspect of love. His women or heroines were advanced having different approaches to love and sex, they changed their colours frequently being sometimes practical, realistic and passionate. For some of his heroines, the marriage was a matter of convenience.References
