Beaumont and Fletcher's Works, Vol. 03 of 10: The Loyal Subject by Francis Beaumont et al.
"The Loyal Subject" by John Fletcher is a tragicomedy performed in the Jacobean era and published in 1647. Set in Muscovy, the play follows General Archas, whose unwavering loyalty is tested when the Duke dismisses him for a minor correction, only to recall him during a Tartar invasion. Through false accusations, torture, imprisonment, and threats to his family, Archas endures extreme royal mistreatment while remaining faithful. Fletcher explores how far devotion can
stretch under tyrannical abuse, creating a provocative commentary on power and obedience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
