* IdiotPlot: A HUGE criticism of the play is how the problems presented had pretty simple, logical solutions but aren't brought up in order to drag out the misery. Then again, some scholars have argued that the play is a possible parody of the tragedies of the time and shows how the characters in tragedies can in fact be completely stupid.
