Tamerlano il Grande

The play's depiction of Tamburlaine's ruthless ambition feels both inspiring and unsettling. Did Marlowe intend to critique or glorify such relentless pursuit of greatness?

His poetic monologues are iconic, but I wondered if their grandeur might also alienate some viewers. What was your impression of his character's charisma versus tyranny?

The language and staging feel very deliberate—I'm curious whether Marlowe aimed for a particular effect or if it evolved from the theatrical conventions of the time.
