Essay plan on John Webster’s drama The Duchess of Malfi on the theme of Catholicism.
It answers the question: Write an essay on the treatment of ONE OR MORE of the following in Renaissance literature: the Roman Catholic Church; Grace; Free Will; Predestination; the Word of God.
This plan looks at the Roman Catholic Church in the context of Jacobean England and its depiction in the play as outdated, corrupt, and inescapable for the play’s characters.
- Analyses language: allusions, symbolism, parallelisms, etc.
- Looks at wider historical context of various Bibles, Rome, Renaissance rhetoric, the Protestant Reformation, etc.
