Read for Renaissance Lit module. I was really looking forward to reading this play because my tutor said it was similar to John Webster. He was definitely right; THE CHANGELING is fast paced, dark and definitely dramatic. The characters draw you into their complex works and Middleton and Rowley's exploration of women at the time is both contradictory and spot on. I didn't quite like it as much as Webster, but I really did enjoy it & would love to see it performed.

Enjoyed this one! It was very Middleton-esque, but there was something else to it that I really enjoyed!

middleton's tragedy is caught up in the performative, making a spectacle of murder and madness; his characters are not of flesh and bone but the ivory and ebony of chess pieces, enacting a grotesque semblance of life as they are moved across the board to their inevitable destruction.
