Abstract

Despite Milton's declaration in his preface that Samson Agonistes never was intended for the stage, there are many parallels between conventional revenger such as Hamlet and Samson that makes the closet drama an interesting study as a version of the revenge tragedy. The importance of the drama of revenge in Samson Agonistes is pointed out by various critics, including Peggy Anne Samuels who argues that "of all the dramatic sub-genres surely it is revenge drama that Milton's play most blatantly recalls." In Renaissance drama, thus, Milton found a repertoire of conceptions of human action against which he could delineate his own model in Samson Agonistes. As indicated by John F. Andrews, however, despite having the traditional attributes of the typical protagonist of a revenge tragedy, Milton's Samson differs substantially from his original model, creating "something approximating a transformation of the genre." In Samson Agonistes, Milton reveals a new approach to revenge, one that valorizes patience and obedience over precipitous and rash action, moving from active force to passive fortitude.
