Fred B. Tromly shows that in Marlowe's writing desire is a response to calculated, teasing enticement, ultimately a sign not of power but of impotence. The author identifies this desire with the sadistic irony of the Tantalus myth rather than with the sublime tragedy exemplified by the familiar figure of Icarus. Thus, Marlowe's characteristic mis en scene is moved from the heavens to the netherworld. Tromly also demonstrates that the manipulations of desire among Marlowe's characters find close parallels in the strategies by which his works tantalize and frustrate their audiences.Closely examining all the plays and the major poems, the author deploys a variety of resources - Renaissance mythography, the study of literary sources (especially Ovid), comparisons with contemporary writers, performance history, and social history - to demonstrate how central Tantalus and tantalizing are to Marlowe's imagination. 606 $aTeasing in literature 606 $aAggressiveness in literature 606 $aControl (Psychology) in literature 606 $aDrama$xPsychological aspects 606 $aDesire in literature 606 $aSadism in literature 606 $aPlay in literature 606 $aSex in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTeasing in literature. 615 0$aAggressiveness in literature. 615 0$aControl (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aDrama$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aDesire in literature. 615 0$aSadism in literature. 615 0$aPlay in literature. 615 0$aSex in literature. 676 $a822/.3 700 $aTromly$b Frederic B.$f1943-$0985923 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455869403321 996 $aPlaying with desire$92448843 997 $aUNINA
