		She [Videna] accordingly took the possession of tent wherein he [Porrex] was lying and fast asleep, and setting upon him with her waiting-women hacked him all into little pieces.
		The second and the more essential is about the discussions of succession to the throne after her which makes the play a political one and concerns the aim of this paper.
		The first adviser, Arostus, is glad with the idea claiming that it would be better to contribute the lands equally to his sons for he also thinks it is better to “leave them free to random of their will” (I.ii.127).

	Gorboduc
		It is only a short step to a play which illustrates neatly the importance of the morality tradition both to Shakespeare's histories and tragedies: Gorboduc, or Ferrex and Porrex, performed (as the title page informs us) before Queen Elizabeth.
		The plot concerns a king, Gorboduc, who divides his kingdom between his two sons, Ferrex and Porrex; the moral of the story is clear, for what ensues is civil war.
		Gorboduc was written for performance before Queen Elizabeth, and it is evident that the writers (two young noblemen, Thomas Norton and Thomas Sackville) were concerned to instruct the Queen tactfully in the essential business of ensuring that she left an undisputed heir to the throne.

	Gorboduc notes
		Contribution of Morality Plays: balancing of good and evil counsellors for Ferrex and Porrex, but note that the three counsellors of Gorboduc cannot be reduced to simple morality play figures--the play is more complex than that.
		Gorboduc is in part an allegorical character in that he is most important for his political function; he is a symbol of the realm at least as much as he is a human being.
		Elements of conscious artistry: equal time for all counsellors; Videna's complaint over the death of Ferrex is matched by Marcella's over the death of Porrex; each act has the same basic tripartite structure (dumbshow, scenes, chorus).

	The Theatre In England - Classical Drama In England Between 1550 And 1588
		This was Gorboduc, or Ferrez and Porrex, played before Queen Elizabeth on January 17, 1561.
		This play was the work of two distinguished men of letters : Thomas Sackville, Lord Buckhurst, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Thomas Norton, the famous controversialist, to whom, as also to George Gascoigne, is due the credit of having suggested the use of blank verse instead of rhymed verses.
		The acts close with a chorus composed of the ` four ancient and wise men of England,' who reflect upon the situation, and educe the moral of the action.

	Notes on Gorboduc
		She is also warned of the dangers threatened by a lack of clear succession.
		The deaths of Ferrex and Porrex result in chaos and civil war because there is no longer any clear line of succession.
		What I am asserting, then, is that the study of literature is not the study of a-political texts containing universal truths (lofty thoughts) as Sidney and much of the modern humanistic tradition claim.

	Hamlet Essay at Absolute Shakespeare
		I do not understand this; and Shakspeare seems to have intended the meaning not to be more than snatched at:—'By my fay, I cannot reason!'
		This admirable substitution of the epic for the dramatic, giving such a reality to the impassioned dramatic diction of Shakspeare's own dialogue, and authorized too, by the actual style of the tragedies before his time (Porrex and Ferrex, Titus Andronicus, andc.)—is well worthy of notice.
		The fancy, that a burlesque was intended, sinks below criticism: the lines, as epic narrative, are superb.
