THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER The play, The Devil and Daniel Webster is about a guy, named Jabez Stone, who gave his soul to the devil, Mr. Scratch, so he could marry Mary. Daniel Webster is one of Jabez's neighbors and friends, he is trying to help Jabez get his soul back. These fine two fellows have a trial against the devil and the jury of the dead. This was very unfair for Daniel and Jabez, because the jury was the actual dead and they were only listening to the devil, Mr. Scratch, and the judge, Hawthorne. The end of the play was very interesting to me and I would recommend this play for anyone to read.
