"Volpone; or the Fox" is a comedy by the English playwright Ben Jonson. In this play, the author embodied an incredibly sophisticated joke, deep and clever humor, which is revealed through hysteria, pathos and black humor. The main character, Volpone, is a sly fox who creates an image of nobility and nobility to those around him, but at the same time, in reality, he does not back down from his schemes and manipulations to achieve his own goals. The book helps the reader rethink notions of bias, honor, and capital, and shows how power and wealth can turn the best of us into manipulative and cruel adversaries.
