	The Jew of Malta Summary & Essays - Christopher Marlowe
		Christopher Marlowe's fourth play, The Jew of Malta, is thought to have been performed as early as 1590, although the first recorded performance was in February of 1592.
		The title page describes the play as the "Famous Tragedy of the Rich Jew of Malta," but it is also often described as fl or satiric comedy, and so, any indication of tragedy is eclipsed.
		The Jew of Malta was performed many times, both at court and in the theatres of London, prior to the theatres' closing in 1642.

	The Jew of Malta
		Christopher Marlowe's play The Jew of Malta is positioned right at the beginning of a profound era of restructurual theater dynamics that would lay the seeds for both secular and restructural modern drama.
		In seeking to understand the backdrop factors that supported the story line of The Jew of Malta, it is important to remember that the composite world stage itself was at a point of change and that the experiences of Marlowe's characters reflected the profound uncertainties and value systems of the greater world climate.
		The Jew of Malta is a dynamic play that reflects on the value systems aesthetics of the emerging secular middle class social reality- moving into the post-Victorian age (and repositioning itself for the Industrial Revolution).

		THE JEW OF MALTA, the most startling of them (and perhaps for that reason the least frequently revived) tells the story of Barabas, the wealthiest man on the island of Malta.
		Cheated out of his fortune by the government after he has saved Malta from the Turks, Barabas dedicates his life to wholesale revenge in ways that are terrifying and often terrifyingly funny.
		A super-hero who is also a super-villain, in what some have thought of as the blank verse equivalent of a comic book, he is a figure for the ages, in a fl comedy played out on an epic scale.

		As Barabas in "The Jew of Malta," the little-seen Christopher Marlowe play whose volatile subject matter nonetheless means that everyone has opinions about it, McDiarmid is both amazing as well as somewhat wearing, as if even to pause for breath would be to puncture the text.
		The result is a headlong canter through the play that T. Eliot famously called "a fl farce," as it might be performed by a high-adrenaline Scottish version of Jackie Mason.

		The scenes are action-focussed; it is 'dramatic action' that Craik[3] cites as being the main good quality of The Jew of Malta.
		So, fundamentally, the Jew Barabas is, by critics today seen as silly, but in Elizabethan terms, is a crowd-pleaser and in the quick succession of events, hardly explained in terms of motivation, finds meaning on a very real and social level.
		The Christians in The Jew of Malta are presented as self-righteous, unreasonable and as money-hungry as Barabas.

		Although the title page proclaims the work a tragedy, the drama conforms to few of the criteria normally associated with this genre, and the play’s farcical and satiric elements are undeniable.
		The American Shakespeare Repertory Company, a dynamic young off-broadway group, boldly accepted the challenge with their innovative, comedic, and often riveting production of The Jew of Malta, so far as I am aware, only the fourth version of the play to be produced in the United States during the twentieth century.
		The drama of betrayal, subterfuge and murder was enacted on a bare stage, decorated only with raised platforms and large canvas tapestries, the latter illustrating in vivid, grotesque, post-modernist strokes the play’s central episodes.

		The Jew of Malta is a formative and brilliant play which has come to hold an increasingly important position in the Marlowe canon.
		This edition is based on the only surviving text, the 1633 quarto, which has been carefully examined and is shown to be more authentic and reliable than most earlier scholars were prepared to allow.

	Marlowe's Jew of Malta
		In this first selection from the play you will see that Shakespeare clearly echoed some of Barabbas' attitudes towards his daughter in Shylock's attitude to Jessica, especially in the apparently callous connection between money and love.
		In this second extract, Barabbas has just bought a slave, Ithamore, and is testing him to see if he will be ruthless enough for the tasks that lie ahead (he plans, among other things, to poison all the nuns, including Abigail).
		The passage plays heavily on the stereotype of the murderous and greedy Jew.

	Christopher Marlowe
		His Jew of Malta was not the chief source of Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice, but it may have suggested the Jessica episodes and some incidental language of the play, and Marlowe's title character Barabas may serve as a counterfoil for Shakespeare’s Shylock.
		Barabas’ career of crime includes playing off Turks against Maltese to gain power in Malta, stirring up fatal violence between two Christians who seek to marry his daughter Abigail, and poisoning a whole Christian nunnery which Abigail has joined upon her conversion.
		It’s hard to read the third excerpt below, in which the villainous Jew compares notes with an almost equally villainous Turkish slave he has purchased, without suspecting that Marlowe is laughing obliquely at everyone.
