This historical artifact combines the texts of Webster’s Jacobean tragedy The Duchess of Malfi with the aesthetics from a theorized adaptation as a traditional Japanese Noh play, suggested. The news sets the Duke and Cardinal into such a rage that nobody escapes unscathed. The two main protagonists of this article are Nathan and John, connected through a dramatic dialogue as they both explore the creation of a virtual play. They set the loyal but troubled Bosola to spy on her, and he discovers that the duchess has, in secret, married Antonio, her steward. Her brothers - a duke and a cardinal - want control of her wealth and so have forbidden her from marrying.
