Tamburlaine the Great, Part 1 by Christopher Marlowe
4.0
Absolutely great work. Some of the most moving language I've read in a work of early modern drama.
The tale of Tamburlaine is frenetic, and seems to jump from battle sequence to battle sequence with little regard for the human consequence. The play addresses some of these issues in a way that forms an undercurrent to increasing violence. By the end, there is an unsettling accord struck between the violence and it's consequences as we are led into the Second Part of this tyrants fascinating tale.
