Answer: G.B. Shaw, in his essay, has superbly defined the freedom. According to him, nobody is totally free. Besides men's slavery to nature, the writer has pointed out that only rich people get the taste of freedom by depending completely on the shoulder of the other people who work for them. They are called slave. Our writer is against the system and wants to abolish it from our society because no master can be good enough to his slave. In order to do that everyone should be careful at the time of voting while choosing the right person who will rule the country. Everybody of a country should get justice and proper right to live. Everyone should get equal education. Besides, the total income of a country should be distributed in a proper way. The master must not regulate the lifestyle of his employee. Nation's Police force have to maintain it's a law and order not giving special favour to anyone. Every employee must get a balanced life where he will work and at the same time he can get free time to enjoy life. The most important fact to abolish slavery is that everyone should do his own share of work with his own hand and brain. only thus the slavery system from the society can be abolished.

Why does the essayist G. B. Shaw say that no one can be completely free? OR- What factors restrict us to get complete freedom?
* In the essay "Freedom", the essayist G. B. Shaw has presented a fact of freedom of human being. He states that there is nothing that may be called absolute freedom. No one can enjoy the taste of complete freedom. Shaw has superbly establishes this very thought in this essay and presents few instances to prove it. He also shows the factors that are causing limitation to the absolute freedom of man.
* Firstly, essayist believes that a man can not have absolute freedom. Man is bound to nature's rule. though man works in field or office for their livelihood as per their choice. That may be for himself or for his employers. These works depend on their will. But few things that we have to do or perform whether we want or not. We have to relax, eat, drink, sleep, wash and dress. This is a necessity to us that is caused by Nature or Society. We have to follow that rule otherwise we have to live in isolation or we will be rejected by society. We cannot avoid these natural actions. Though apparently we feel ourselves free, but actually we are slaves to nature.
* Secondly, even a tenant is not a free man. His or her landlord will force him or her to practice a specific religion, caste, ritual and also he would like to force the tenant to vote for landlord's selected candidate.
* Thirdly, even the employee does not get relief from his employer. The employee does not have any freedom to dress up, job hour, even the tenure of job. The employer will select everything regarding his job.
* Fourthly, if a man works in office or factory for twelve hours, he gets no time for himself and he has to take rest in rest twelve hours because it is natural for human to take rest. If he protests or complains against it to their trade union, no benefit will come out. Only they can call for strike and that will lead to no income and ever starvation. So, also in these cases man has no freedom.
* Fifthly, suppose a person saves four hours from his 12 hours job and plans to go go to a film or to read a book, he must spend money. Or to save that money if he goes to bed for rest, that 'free' time goes for relaxation not for recreation.
* Sixthly, one must abide by the rules of society to avoid law and police. Though a man votes to select the leader of nation but when the vote is over it is seen that just the leader has changed but the status of common people has not changed. They cannot protest because they have cast their vote. So the common people remain slaves.
