Question
This action titles a book by Harry Levin that defines Marlowe’s tragic heroes by their impetus to perform it. For 10 points each:
[10m] What action names a man who, in Edmund Kean’s portrayal, grabs a sword after Marall makes the ink on a deed disappear? That man surnamed for this action is the villain of Philip Massinger’s A New Way to Pay Old Debts.
ANSWER: overreaching [accept the overreacher or Sir Giles Overreach; prompt on reaching]
[10e] The Overreacher borrows from Hamlet’s “Advice to the Players” by using this king’s name as a verb prefixed with “out.” In a mystery play of the Wakefield Cycle, this villainous Biblical king orders a massacre of infants.
ANSWER: Herod [accept Herod I or Herod the Great; accept “out-Heroding” or Magnus Herodes]
[10h] The title of The Overreacher comes from George Puttenham’s effort to give English names, such as “loud lyer” and “drie mock,” to these things. A metaphorical “garden” titles a 1577 book by Henry Peacham that catalogs about 200 of these things.
ANSWER: figures of speech [or rhetorical figures; or figures of grammar; accept tropes or schemes; prompt on rhetorical or literary devices, techniques, or terms] (Peacham wrote The Garden of Eloquence.)
