Abstract

In the seventeenth-century Jacobean revenge tragedy The changeling, Thomas middleton and William rowley present two seemingly separate worlds in both location and action. The main plot is characterized by the locale of the castle in Alicante, ruled by Vermandero. This setting is centered on the appetite of Vermandero's daughter, Beatrice-Joanna, against the paternal will. Further, the action of this setting develops through the love triangle between Beatrice, Alsemero, and De Flores that magnifies Beatrice's character. The subplot is distinguished by Doctor Alibius' madhouse within which Alibius becomes increasingly fearful of his wife, Isabella, potentially acting disloyally; the playwrights also present the "mad" characters of Antonio and Franciscus and their actions toward Isabella, of which Alibius grows extremely jealous.
