To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is so in the first part of Hieronimo, and even if Professor Boas is right in thinking that Hieronimo is a later production by another hand, the fact that it was acted at the same theatre as the Spanish Tragedy and about the same time implies that the two representations of Hie- ronimo did not clash. If an audience had been allowed to laugh one night every time the old man appeared, they could not be expected to feel the same character wholly dignified a day or two later. We may take it, then..., that Hieronimo is very old and a little ridiculous in his devotion to \ his son. The appeal of the play was the spec- ' tacle of this half-doting old man trying to perform the duty of avenging the honour of his family. He fumbles ineffectively for some time. It is certainly a mistake to suppose that Shakespeare's Hamlet introduced the idea of hesitation on the part of the avenger. In THE SPANISH TRAGEDY 73 one place an old man comes to Hieronimo to demand justice from him as Marshall for the murder of a son.
