comment
Arms and the Man is a comedic play first performed in 1894, written by George Bernard Shaw. It tells the tale of a young Bulgarian lady named Raina Petkoff, whose fiance is an officer in the Serbo-Bulgarian War. One night, a Swiss officer working for the Serbs takes refuge from the battle in her bedroom. Hilarity Ensues. And that's just the first act. Things get even crazier when, after the war, Raina's fiance Sergius returns from the war and begins a kinda-sorta love affair with her maid, Louka, and Captain Bluntschli returns in peacetime, welcomed as an honored guest by Raina's father, even though he has no idea the two already know each other.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Sergius is the Captain who initially seems like the Innamorato; Bluntschli is basically the opposite

Defeat by Modesty: When Bluntschli escapes into Raina's bedroom at the beginning of the play, he offers the fact that she will be seen in her nightgown as a reason she shouldn't call out to the soldiers outside and give him up for capture.

Duel to the Death: Also deconstructed. Sergius challenges Bluntschli to one. As Bluntschli is the one in the position to choose the weapon used for the duel, he suggests machine guns, frightening Sergius out of his challenge.
