The Tragedy of Mariam

Elizabeth Cary vividly depicts Mariam's struggles, but I'm curious whether her internal battles feel authentic or exaggerated for dramatic effect.

The 17th-century style adds richness but also made it harder to follow at times. Did you find the poetic dialogue immersive or a barrier?

Her choice to center a woman's voice in such a complex historical context feels groundbreaking. Wondering what motivated this focus.
