"Oh, Brother"

I have a feeling that if Christopher Marlowe had a brother (or a sister for that matter), they would have gotten into a lot of fights. First in the story, the Earl of Kent betrays his own brother, the King, by switching sides. Second, the Queen's own brother turned her away in a time of trouble. Even when the King seems to have found a place of safety, the church full of "brothers" doesn't prove to be sufficient. On another note of betrayal, the Queen finally, in my eyes, turns against Edward with the start of the retaliation of the barons. The King even turns his eyes away from his country to seek out his own revenge. The entire play is filled with people betraying each other despite long years of devotion. By the end of this act, I am hoping for a tragic ending to this horrid play of deceit and disloyalty for all characters.
