The Devil Is an Ass is a Jacobean comedy by Ben Jonson, first performed in 1616 and first published in 1631. The Devil Is an Ass followed Bartholomew Fair (1614), one of the author's greatest works and marks the start of the final phase of his dramatic career........ The play opens in Hell, with Satan and an inferior devil named Pug. Pug wants to be sent to Earth to do the Devil's work of tempting men to evil – but Satan thinks he isn't up to the job; the world has grown so sophisticated in its vices, especially in the moral cesspool of London, that a simple devil like Pug will be severely out of his depth. Pug pleads his case, however, and Satan sends him into the world, specifically to plague an eccentric and foolish gentleman named Fabian Fitzdottrel. Less
