John Webster's The White Devil and The Duchess of Malfi reflect Jacobean England where people were confused with their moral values. The two plays present persons who violate traditional morality and dismantle the social order for their own interest and affiliation. Webster's standpoint was satiric to the extent that he criticized the moral hazard of the time but his denunciation was ironic. This study exemplifies the four types of love of Vittoria, Zanch, Duchess, and Julia, and illuminates their dramatic significance. Textual reading focuses on Webster's critical satires concerned with their love patterns.
Vittoria intends to marry Brachiano, making it possible for her to move up to aristocratic class to pursue her sexual desire as well as to gain economic wealth. And Zanche, as a foil of Vittoria, tries to tempt Flamineo and Francisco disguised as Mulinassar to satisfy her sexual desire. On the other hand, the Duchess wants to be loved as a woman who seeks simple domestic happiness, so she is inclined to marry Antonio who is a "complete man" to her. Julia, as a foil of the Duchess, wants to be loved as a woman by the Cardinal, who treats her as a plaything, but is rejected. Again she tries to tempt Bosola but is poisoned by the Cardinal. All of them dies, but the causes of their death are different. The deaths of Vittoria and Zanche result from their own crimes, while those of the Duchess and Julia do not from their own guilt, but from the corrupt society which doesn't allow their innocent love.
Through the four deaths of the women, Webster delineates his ideal of mature love, and presents his critical views on corrupt society where four women face miserable death. In conclusion, Webster criticizes and satirizes Jacobean England where people use love as means of moving up to high class, gaining economic wealth, and satisfying sexual desire. He suggests that a woman should choose a mate with her own free will, judge her mate not by his degree but by his virtue, and confess her love as a wooer.
