Question
In a preface, this author describes the protagonist of one of his plays as “exempt from the taints of ambition,” unlike Satan in Paradise Lost. In one of this author’s plays, a nobleman who holds a feast to celebrate the deaths of his sons in Salamanca is discovered dead in a pine tree. A fourth act this author appended to another of his plays features a masque for the protagonist’s wedding to Asia and a declaration that “this is alone (*) Life, Joy, Empire and Victory” by Demogorgon. This author's most-performed play, about the death of the tyrannical count Francesco at the hands of his daughter Beatrice, is titled The Cenci (”CHEN-chee”). In a closet drama by this author, Hercules frees the protagonist from being chained to a precipice. For 10 points, name this author of Prometheus Unbound. ■END■
