Beschreibung
"The Duchess of Malfi" is a play written by John Webster in the early 17th century, and it tells the tragic story of a powerful Duchess who falls in love and secretly marries Antonio. The Duchess's two brothers, Ferdinand, and the Cardinal are opposed to her marriage and plot to destroy her happiness. As the play progresses, the Duchess and Antonio are caught and tortured by Ferdinand and the Cardinal's henchmen. The Duchess's children are also murdered, and in the end, the Duchess herself is strangled to death. What will Antonio do without his love? The Duchess's love for Antonio is in direct opposition to the expectations of her brothers and society. This conflict ultimately leads to her downfall. Ferdinand and the Cardinal are portrayed as corrupt and ruthless individuals who abuse their power for personal gain. The Duchess, on the other hand, is shown as a benevolent ruler who genuinely cares for her loved ones! To know the end, completely, readers should read this powerful depiction of the consequences of ambition, greed, and betrayal.
