Resource summary
Camillo & Giovanni
Giovanni
Son of Brachiano and Isabella
Few appearances display youth and immaturity
Initially arriving with mother, emphasising attachment to her
Main function in scene is to cement relationship between father and uncle
"here comes a champion / shall end the difference between you both"
Lengthy dialogue with father and uncle demonstrates lively intelligence and precosity
Next is with Lodovico, going to tell Uncle of mother's death
Youthful response to her death provokes pity - questions what the dead do
"Do they eat / hear music, go a-hunting, and be merry / As we that live?"
Narration of mother's treatment reminiscent of Ophelia in Hamlet
"They wrapped her in a cruel fold of lead / and would not let me kiss her"
Next is when revenge is started - but doesn't understand it has come from his uncle
Become the new Duke, despite his youth
Flamineo's remarks that he should "be merry" as he has inherited the dukedom
Merits the reproach "Study your prayer, sir, and be penitent"
Audience likely to approve of behaviour since they have seen Flamineo's malevolent influence exerted before
Speaks the final words of the play - responsible for the restoration of order
Audience bound to have misgivings on account of his immaturity
Camillo
Vittoria's husband and Monticelso's nephew
Initial descriptions show him as a fool and no match for his beautiful, clever wife
Vittoria's motive for marrying him = financial
"He bought you of your father"
Spent twelve thousand ducats in 6 months but received no dowry
Main function = obstruct play's more important characters, all (including audience) are anxious to get him out of the way
Monticelso sends him away so B & V can continue affair to become a public scandal
Vittoria plays along with Flamineo to get him out of the way
Negative descriptions - "ass"
Fearful of being "cuckholded" but is gullible and easily manipulated by wife, uncle and brother-in-law
His death by Flamineo, neck broken on vaulting horse is both pathetic and humiliating
