Catiline, His Conspiracy.

The article presents criticisms of the play by Ben Jonson, "Catiline." The play is described by a critic as well written but too simplistic and is weakened by slow pacing, unclear motives and conflict. Historical details of the play bring back the 1605 Gunpowder Plot to mock papist fanaticism of that era. Another critic cites that the play is a clear condemnation of political and social subversions.
