Answers
Answer:
Seneca Seneca influenced Elizabeth revenge tragedy
explaination
Some of the characteristics of Senecan tragedy inherited by Renaissance dramatists were:
· The revenge was personal, often taking on a religious sense
· The revenge could be prompted by a ghost
· The revenger was warned to conceal and dissemble revenge, lest his chance for vengeance be lost.
· Terrible punishment awaited an unnatural revenge.
· Innocent or deceived accomplices were sometimes used to help the revenge, but never to consummate it.
· Momentary hesitations could briefly halt the revenger.
· Seneca’s criminals were fully responsible: the will was all powerful and man had liberty of choice between good and evil.
· Death was a last refuge and expiation. Seneca sympathized with suicide when it saved honor or gave an escape from a life too full of pain, but felt it was more courageous to combat misfortune than to succumb without a struggle.
