- W4235959915 abstract "Webster was the contemporary of the metaphysical poets and, while it would seem an exaggeration to describe his outlook as Calvinist, his art is undeniably metaphysical in style and content. His purposeful theatricality creates for drama witty conceits of the highest order and his ultimate purpose is to show how individuals shape their souls for the hereafter. That is the essence of his tragic vision; his haunting ability to delineate the effects of dying on consciousness is compassionate not morbid, because he possesses an extraordinary skill to bring our whole knowledge of a character sharply into our awareness as his or her consciousness ceases to function for ever. The great Aragonian Cardinal makes a mockery of his calling; his true self behind the crimson splendour is secretive, insidious, ‘rotten and rotting others’ [iv ii 318]; disgraced in the circumstances and manner of his death, he chooses to be ‘laid by, and never thought of [v v 90]. Ferdinand, stabbed by his intelligencer who has held the mirror up to his nature showing that his heart is a hollow grave [iv ii 317], dies recognising that his schemes have led inexorably to this end, that what he deemed his own brilliance has undermined his sanity, his will, his life: ‘Like diamonds we are cut with our own dust’ [v v 73]." @default.
