Devoted Friend” Is devotion a two way street between friends? This writer would have to say no‚ devotion is not always a two way street between friends‚ but it certainly should be. In the short story‚ “The Devoted Friend”‚ author Oscar Wilde tells his readers a tale of two friends and their ideas of what a devoted friend truly is. Little Hans shows readers that friendship is not always unselfish‚ and Hugh the Miller—Hans’ friend—shows readers they can never be quite sure just what kind of friend a person
