In calling Webster the 'Tussaud Laureate' Bernard Shaw spoke for all the critics who have complained of the atmosphere of charnel-house and torture-chamber in his plays. Certainly he can be morbid, macabre and melodramatic and exploits to the full the theatrical possibilities of cruelty and violent death. But critics have too often identified Webster’s views with those of his characters and neglected his superb poetry and excellent craftsmanship. Though he was writing at a time of social confusion and pessimism, it is possible to see his own universe as an essentially moral one and his vision as deeply religious.
