The Devoted Friend by Oscar Wilde is a beautifully written moral tale that reveals the painful difference between true friendship and selfish advantage. With Wilde’s signature wit, elegance, and sharp social criticism, the story follows little Hans, a kind and generous man whose devotion is exploited by the wealthy Miller, who speaks grandly about friendship while taking everything and giving nothing in return.
