out their swords, and these four kill the
four at the table, in their chairs."
Act 5.3.43
I think Middleton accidentally hit the fast forward button on this play. Within the last 4 pages, EVERYONE dies with barely any action in between. I realize this is a tragedy and every main character is supposed to die, but this was overkill (pun?). I do, however, like the reference to the Duke's death again, when Lussurioso utters the same "oh" that his father did while dying and the collective "oh" of his brothers. It must be a family "thang."
