John Webster is a highly qualified genius in the post — Shakespearean period when the Elizabethan zest for life has gone and the Elizabethan exuberance and optimism has been succeeded by a mood of apprehension, disillusionment and defeat. John Webster has been successful in depicting the vitiated and fetid society of that time. It was a decadent society where all kinds of evils were rampant with their corroding effect upon the society. Webster, being the refined product of the renaissance, satirises very bitterly all the evil aspects of the society.
