Question

a play brimming with linguistic superfluity and spectacular gore, john marstons antonios revenge (1599) has been portrayed by critics as everything from a brilliant burlesque of revenge tragedies to a grotesquely overwrought literary disaster. while the play is, as the title might suggest, a revenge tragedy, the degree to which its author intended it to be seriously received as one is a matter of persistent critical contention. part of this confusion lies in the plays notorious excesses in language, characterization, and violence. the plays bizarre ending is especially problematic: in the final act, antonio and his friends not only torture and kill the villainous piero, they also murder and cook an innocent child. instead of being punished, however, these revengers are heaped with praise and offered rewards before announcing their plans to become religious hermits. while some critics argue that this ending reveals marstons own personal sadistic bent, others simply see it as evidence of his lack of skills as a dramatist. t.s. eliot, for example, has noted that this play, along with its predecessor antonio and mellida, give the effect of work done by a man who was so exasperated by having to write in a form he despised that he deliberately wrote worse than he could have written, in order to relieve his feelings. eliots notion of marston writing to relieve his feelings is not without merit; antonio spends the entirety of antonios revenge either describing his feelings in this passage would most likely be found in a the editorial section of a newspaper b an encyclopedia article about playwright john marston c a scholarly journal about english literature d the book review section of a popular magazine e the playbill for an upcoming performance

Este tipo de análisis es típico de publicaciones académicas sobre literatura. Un periódico editorial se centra más en opiniones políticas o sociales, una enciclopedia se limita a datos básicos, la sección de reseñas de libros de una revista popular es menos académica y un folleto de una obra no presenta este tipo de análisis crítico profundo.
