Question

Write short notes on The poetic justice in Volpone

Answer 1

Volpone "What a rare punishment / Is avarice to itself," thus noting the poetic justice of their act, the way it is a perfect retribution for the prospective heirs. Though that last quotation can also be considered an instance of foreshadowing. ... "Volpone" means "Fox" in Italian, and "Mosca" means "Fly".

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak{\underline{Explanation:-}}$

The amoral environment in which Ben Jonson’s characters enact their shady deals for their own selfish gratification undergirds a vision of humanity that often seems totally bleak. The premise of the play, to fool all and sundry into bribing Volpone for his future legacy, bears out such a dismal worldview. But not only do Volpone and his wily servant Mosca try to trick everyone else, the others are simultaneously developing their own, equally reprehensible schemes to defraud him. Turnabout is always fair play in Jonson’s world.
