John Webster's The White Devil reflects Jacobean England where people were confused withe their moral values. The play presents persons who violate traditional morality and dismantle the social order for their own interest and affiliation. For Webster, Jacobean society was referred to as 'theatrum mundi' where violent outrage dominated its hegemony, and audacious betrayal would rather had something to do with its power. And Webster's standpoint was satirical to the extent that he criticized the moral hazard and his denunciation was ironic. This paper exemplifies Webster's view of ideal society and illuminates its dramatic signification. Therefore textual reading focuses on his critical satire concerned with the prince and court satire.
Bracciano is a typical tyrant of irresponsibility and immorality. Forgetting his public duties to build up the order of his dukedom, he abuses his power by falling in love with Vittoria. Webster's perspective on the ideal prince manifested through Cornelia and Antonio's speech. Cornelia talks about "model of the time," and Antonio mentions French king who could establish the order of his country clearing up the flatters and knaves in his court. And later Giovanni is suggested as an ideal prince. Therefore Webster's paradoxical dramatization of Bracciano presents his ideal of a prince implying that a prince should moderate his personal desire in order to best serve public duties.
The other theme of the White Devil is the corruption of court reward and punishment and it is divided into three parts for later development: first, the rotten prodigality of court life; second, the evils of a social system in which sycophants flatter a prince; third, a prince's capricious justice. Basically these problems results from the social injustice, which seems to be entirely due to the arbitrariness of "court reward and punishment." And Webster considers a prince's depravity and capricious justice as the main cause of the corruption of court reward and punishment. This is understood as Webster's satirical manifestation or his criticism on society for the sake of the paradoxical emphasis on social justice.
In conclusion, Webster satirizes Jacobean England where moral values and political aims were broadly corrupted. But he paradoxically, through a prince's corrupted behaviour and his capricious justice, suggests an ideal country where a prince should keep the balance between his personal desire and public duty, rule the country with strict principle of court reward and punishment.
