Produktinformationen "The White Devil"
"The White Devil" by John Webster is a gripping tragedy that explores themes of revenge, betrayal, and moral corruption in Renaissance Italy. Written during the Jacobean era, this play is known for its dark and intense portrayal of human nature and its unflinching examination of the consequences of unchecked ambition and desire. Set in the court of Duke Brachiano in Rome, the play follows the tumultuous lives of several characters, including Vittoria Corombona, the titular "White Devil," who becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue and violence. As the plot unfolds, we witness the devastating effects of jealousy, manipulation, and deceit, as characters scheme and plot against one another in their quest for power and revenge. At the heart of the play is the character of Vittoria, a complex and enigmatic figure who defies societal expectations and challenges the traditional roles assigned to women. Her defiance and independence make her both a compelling protagonist and a tragic figure, as she becomes ensnared in a cycle of violence and betrayal from which there is no escape.
