Rosett The discerning reader will find that the keynote to the plot of the play is borrowed from the biblical Job. See with what facility Dr. Beacon picks up his friend from the quiet and isolation of the laboratory and hurls him into the social whirlpool, there to struggle with the wreckage of the middle class, from which he finally consents to release him - all this not in the spirit of mere wantonness characteristic of a second rate devil, but with a high purpose in view - and you will discover in Beacon the sublime Satan. Of course, Satan has here been thoroughly modernized and made to fit Twentieth Century conditions; compared, how ever, to what Satan has already suffered at the hands of man, his treatment in this play will be found rather mild.
