	Exchange and Excess in Lillo's London Merchant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Lillo's characters do not express any unease about superior generosity, it is true; but at a deeper level the play's structure uses generous thought and action as an ambivalent backdrop to its exchange-oriented commercial ideology.
		Lillo can scarcely be faulted for pleasing the crowd, even though his compositional choices lead, eventually, to a fundamental contradiction between his respect for dramatic measure and his temptation to pull out all the stops in a quest for impressive effect.
		Lillo was in fact responding to a flood of pirated versions of his play, reasoning that the introduction of a supplementary passage would serve to distinguish the official text.

	GEORGE BARNWELL
		George objects saying that his uncle will recognize him as his nephew; Millwood answers that by convincing him that the only way, then, will be to also murder his uncle.
		Just as George Barnwell is determined to please Millwood by honoring her request to kill his own uncle, Pip becomes determined to please Estella by putting behind him the "coarse hands," "thick boots," and "labouring" ways represented by Joe's presence in his life (75; ch.8).
		The story of George Barnwell was well known to people in the eighteenth century (estimates say The London Merchant, or the History of George Barnwell was performed 249 times between 1702 and 1776 (McBurny xii)), and before George Lillo wrote the play, it was a popular song called "The Ballad of George Barnwell" (McBurny 86).

		But although Lillo's plots were not original, the material that Lillo chose to adapt and the manner in which he adapted it reveal much about his stance as social critic and his method as a playwright.
		Lillo, a jeweler by trade and evidently unashamed of it, read his sources through the "lens" of a social affiliiation disavowed by dramatic tradition.
		To the last, in Lillo's adaptation as in the other earlier renditions of the Barnwell story, Millwood is not repentant as men would have her be, and she rejects even Barnwell's pleas to confess before she dies.

		The following is the seventeenth century song on which George Lillo based his 1731 morality play The London Merchant, or the History of George Barnwell.
		Lillo's dramatized version of the employer, Thorowgood, is more useful as a comparison to Joe Gargery in Great Expectations in that he is sympathetic and truly cares about the boy apprenticed to him as Joe cares about Pip.
		Also, the George of the play is forced by Millwood into the murder of his uncle, rather than planning it himself as he does in the ballad.

	PS: English Domestic Tragedy - Kommentar
		When George Lillo's The London Merchant, or, The History of George Barnwell was produced in 1731, it won instant acclaim and praise - this sort of play, soon after called 'domestic tragedy', seemed something altogether new on the London stage.
		How new and unprecedented the play really is when seen in the context of earlier plays - as far as action, structure and characters are concerned - will be one of the central points to discuss.
		The focus will be on a close analysis of Lillo's play.
