Shuffled the wording around a little, and changed some spellings. Added death count, not sure of the relevance of this but I feel it is inkeeping with the theme of the Jacobean Tragedy. --Liss 12:03, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

'the text is slightly ambiguous and could refer to Annabella's body being burnt' None to sure about this, as the comment referring to the burning appears in conversation about Putana. I shall leave it in though, until someone wiser than I can confirm or deny... --Liss 15:56, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Not too sure about the above, the burning is obviously about Putana and not Annabella. I will have a ponder on this one.

My edition (New Mermaid, ed. Martin Wiggins) annotates this as being ambiguous. I haven't got the book with me, but I can get more specific references if anyone is interested. DavidCh0 (talk) 10:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

-Not sure about the questions raised above, but regarding another issue in the article, shouldn't the play be referred to as a Caroline drama (not a Jacobean drama) since it was written during the reign of Charles I (not James)? If so, then the author may want to reconsider the phrase "in typical Jacobean Tragedy style, most of the characters..." since "Jacobean Tragedy" may not be applicable to plays not written in the Jacobean era.

Although written during the reign of Charles I, it was early on in his reign as King, and as theplays of this era have very similar properties to those of the earlier Jacobean era, they tend to be collectively known as Jacobean rather than Caroline as they have no particular distinguishing features of their own. -Liss 18:08, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Remove clean up tag

I've removed the clean up tag and replaced it with {{Not verified|article}} as a more specific tag of what needs doing. Struds 15:26, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
