Volpone; Or, The FoxDigiCat, 15. 9. 2022 - Počet stran: 129 Ben Jonson's 'Volpone; Or, The Fox' is a satirical comedy play that explores themes of greed, deception, and corruption in society. Written in the early 17th century, this play is a poignant commentary on the moral decay of Venice during Jonson's time. Jonson's sharp wit and clever wordplay bring to life the antics of the cunning protagonist, Volpone, and his equally deceitful accomplice, Mosca. The play is known for its intricate plot twists and memorable characters, making it a classic of English literature. Its blend of comedy and social criticism makes 'Volpone' a timeless work that continues to resonate with readers today. Ben Jonson, a contemporary of William Shakespeare, was a prolific playwright and poet in the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. Known for his wit and sharp tongue, Jonson's works often satirized the vices and follies of society. His background as a bricklayer and soldier provided him with a unique perspective that he brought to his writing, resulting in works that are both entertaining and thought-provoking. I highly recommend 'Volpone; Or, The Fox' to readers interested in classic literature, satire, and social commentary. Jonson's masterful storytelling and biting humor make this play a must-read for anyone looking to delve into the complexities of human nature and society. |
