The Jew of Malta by Christopher Marlowe is a dark, satirical revenge tragedy set in Malta during the 16th century. The play follows Barabas, a wealthy Jewish merchant, who loses his fortune when the Christian rulers of Malta seize his property to pay tribute to the Ottoman Empire. Seeking revenge, Barabas manipulates and betrays those around him, including his own daughter, Abigail. His schemes lead to murder, political upheaval, and ultimately his own downfall. The play explores themes of greed, religious hypocrisy, and power, with a mix of tragic and comic elements.
