A review by casspro
Volpone by Ben Jonson

3.0

Another tale from Theater History and Lit class. Jonson is no easy task; the language is heavy, the symbolism is thick and you have to slog through it to really understand the wit that's hidden underneath. That being said, once an impending exam forced me to understand the concepts behind Jonson's work, I enjoyed it. Not enough to read again, but enough to appreciate the bitterness in the play and embrace it as a theatrical classic.
