Set during the 1885 Serbo-Bulgarian War, Arms and the Man by George Bernard Shaw is a satire that deconstructs the romanticized myths about war and marriage. The story begins when Raina Petkoff, a young Bulgarian woman steeped in idealistic notions of heroism, hides Captain Bluntschli, a pragmatic Swiss mercenary fighting for the Serbians who views war as a professional nuisance rather than a glorious pursuit. When the war ends and Raina’s falsely heroic fiancé, Sergius, returns, the performative nature of their "higher love" collapses under the weight of reality.
