Spanish Tragedy
Containing the lamentable end of Don Horatio, and Bel-Imperia: with the pitifull death of old Hieronimo
By: Thomas Kyd
Date: 1582–1592 (most likely in the late 1580's)
Begins with the ghost of Don Andrea: a Spanish nobleman killed in a recent battle with Portugal in a combat with the Portuguese prince, Balthazar. He (Andrea) is accompanied by the spirit of Revenge
Andrea is killed after falling in love with the beautiful Bel-Imperia and having a secret affair with her.
When he faces the judges in the underworld who decide what part of the underworld to send him to, they are unable to reach a decision so they send him to the palace of Pluto and Proserpine, King and Queen of the Underworld.
Pluto gives the decision to his wife and Proserpine decides that Revenge should accompany him back to the world of the living. The spirit of Revenge promises that by the play's end, Don Andrea will see his revenge.
The King's nephew, Lorenzo, and Andrea's best friend, Horatio, fight over who really captured Balthazar (Horatio really did) Lorenzo cheats his way into taking partial credit.
The King leaves Balthazar in Lorenzo's charge and splits the spoils of the victory between the two. Horatio ends up with the majority of the money.
Horatio begins to comfort Lorenzo's sister, Bel-Imperia, who was secretly in love with Andrea
Bel-Imperia soon falls for Horatio, however her love for Horatio is partially motivated by revenge for Andrea. She wants to torment Balthazar, who also wants her.
Balthazar is in love with Bel-imperia and the royal family of Spain thinks that their marriage would be a good way to repair the peace with Portugal.
Horatio's father, the Marshall Hieronimo, stages an entertainment for the Portuguese ambassador who comes for the upcoming wedding.
Lorenzo is to benefit from the wedding so he does not want any thing to go wrong.Lorenzo suspects that Bel-Imperia has found a new lover, so he bribes her servant Pedringano and discovers that Horatio is the man.
Lorenzo persuades Balthazar to help him murder Horatio during a romantic meeting with Bel-Imperia
Hieronimo and his wife, Isabella, find the body of Horatio hanged and stabbed
This drives Isabella mad.
Lorenzo then locks Bel-Imperia away, but she does send Hieronimo a letter, written in her own blood, letting him know that Lorenzo and Balthazar were Horatio's murderers.
Lorenzo doesn’t let Hieronimo see the King, claiming that the King is too busy.
This combined with his wife's suicide, which happens just prior to Hieronimo's appeal to the King, sends Hieronimo into a mad fit. He yells incoherently and digs at the ground with his dagger.
Lorenzo then tells his uncle, the King, that Hieronimo's odd behavior is due to his inability to deal with his son Horatio's new found wealth (Balthazar's ransom from the Portuguese Viceroy), and he has gone mad with jealousy.
After he regains his senses, he and Bel-Imperia “make up” with the murderers and plan to put on a play together, Soliman and Perseda.
Under cover of the play they stab Lorenzo and Balthazar to death in front of the King, Viceroy, and Duke of Castile (Lorenzo and Bel-Imperia's father)
Bel-Imperia kills herself, and Hieronimo tells his audience why he killed the two, but does not reveal Bel-Imperia's part in the plot.
Then bites out his own tongue to prevent himself from talking under torture
He then kills the Duke and then himself. Andrea and Revenge are satisfied (just as promised)
