Androcles and the Lion
Androcles and the Lion is a play by George Bernard Shaw, first published in 1916. It presents a dramatic retelling of the fable about Androcles, a kind man who helps a lion with a thorn in its paw. This act of compassion leads to the lion saving Androcles' life later on, highlighting themes of kindness and reciprocity. Shaw's adaptation emphasizes moral lessons and critiques social injustices, making it a notable work in his oeuvre.
