Set against the backdrop of 16th century Malta during the struggle between Spain and the Ottoman Empire, the story unfolds with Barabas, a wealthy Jewish merchant whose fortune is seized by the Turkish authorities. Driven by a desire for revenge, he cunningly employs a slave and manipulates his daughter's beauty to reclaim his wealth. The narrative explores themes of religious conflict, intrigue, and the lengths one will go to restore lost power, showcasing Marlowe's signature style of complex protagonists and rich blank verse.
