Act
This work's third act concludes with the observation "There's no deep valley but near some great hill" and sees the opening of a letter from the master of horse which implies one character is about to be murdered. This work's final words, spoken by Delio, urge "Let us make noble use of this great ruin;" that scene takes place in an apartment where two characters stab each other to death. This work's title character is strangled by executioners in the fourth act of this play, for which the perpetrator is only rewarded with a pardon by the Cardinal. Act Three begins with one character proposing that (*) Malateste would be a good candidate for marriage, but a refusal quickly turns the focus to the whelp Bosola, who assists the Duke of Calabria Ferdinand in his attempt to identify the actual father of a pair of children produced by his sister and Antonio. For 10 points, identify this Jacobean revenge tragedy by John Webster.
