	Drama: Arms and the Man
		He is a man of about 35, in a deplorable plight, bespattered with mud and blood and snow, his belt and the strap of his revolver-case keeping together the torn ruins of the blue tunic of a Servian artillery officer.
		He is a middle-aged man of cool temperament and low but clear and keen intelligence, with the complacency of the servant who values himself on his rank in servitude, and the imperturbability of the accurate calculator who has no illusions.
		He is a cheerful, excitable, insignificant, unpolished man of about 50, naturally unambitious except as to his income and his importance in local society, but just now greatly pleased with the military rank which the war has thrust on him as a man of consequence in his town.

		One night, a Swiss voluntary soldier to the Serbian army, Bluntschli, bursts into her bedroom and begs her to hide him, so that he is not killed.

	Man-at-arms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was most often used to refer to men in a knight's or lord's retinue who were well-equipped and -trained (deriving from having men under arms - meaning to be trained in the use of arms).
		In this way it was understood that a 'man-at-arms' was a man of the higher echelon of the military scale, but neither of noble birth nor a knight himself.
		It was also used to refer to a man who carried hand-weapons with a shield into combat during the medieval period (rather than billmen, spearmen or archers).

		Arms and the Man is quite possibly Shaw's most popular play.
		It is true that Arms and the Man is a comedy, but it is also about war.
		The setting of the play is in war-torn Bulgaria, and focusses not only on the romance between the young people of the play, but the atrocities that go on during war times and the ability of people not so very far removed from these atrocities to ignore them completely.

		Arms and the Man comes down hard on the subject of hypocrisy, warning fervently of the dangers it represents in both political and personal affairs.
		Shaw tackles this subject matter with his trademark wit in telling the story of a young Bulgarian woman, Raina (Amanda Jones), whose attitudes about war and romance are shaken by the arrival of a self-professed Serbian army officer in her bedroom one night.

	James Connolly: Arms and the Man (1913)
		That was instance number one of the manner in which the crime brings its own punishment, the counsel to arm on behalf of the Orange aristocracy bringing inevitably with it the counsel to arm the masses of the Nationalist democracy.
		Deliberately, and with malice aforethought, they armed a gang of the lowest scoundrels in these islands, and after daily inflaming them with drink, sent them to and fro in the streets of the capital, inciting and maddening all those upon whose liberties they were helping to make war.
		That action of the employer in importing and arming such a scoundrel was a crime – an anti-social crime of the foulest nature – and surely never more dramatically did a crime bring its own punishment.

		Eric Stoltz brings much charm to the role of Captain Bluntschli, the "chocolate-cream soldier" of Shaw's Arms and the Man in the current revival at Williamstown.
		I understand that Shaw wanted to pit Bluntschli's realism against the high-flown romanticism of Raina Petkoff, the woman whose boudoir he infiltrates (her notions of love are based on opera), and the object of her adoration, the vain Bulgarian major Sergius Saranoff.
		This is a production that grabs your arm and assures you, over and over, that it's the most hilarious thing you've ever seen.
