"The Devil's Disciple" by George Bernard Shaw is a play written in 1897. Set during the American Revolutionary War in colonial New Hampshire, it follows Richard Dudgeon, a local outcast who proudly calls himself a "devil's disciple." When British soldiers arrive to arrest the town minister, Richard makes a shocking sacrifice that defies his rebellious reputation. Shaw's paradoxical tale explores themes of heroism and hypocrisy as characters reveal unexpected depths when faced with life-or-death choices.
