wisdom

  • god - omniscient, temoering justice with mercy

  • eiii - his ignorance, innocence gives him a correct moral vision, loves his country, loves his dad, knows hes too young to be king, lack of experience and knowledge gives him a better outlook, uncorrupted by the world

  • mortimer sr - from a modern pov, people have views that are ahead of their time, gay friendly, queer theory reading

  • eve has views that are ahead of their time - feminist reading

  • both texts seems to neutralise these - narrative voice condemns eve, edward dies through poker (condemns homosexuality but not explicitly stated in the play, could be so well known that it didnt need to be stated, could be speculated that he is smothered to death), mortimer sr is captured

  • rare virtue - lack of wisdom is more predominant
