Rapturous Piety. Unabashedly, Ransom describes a lyric poem as "an act of rapturous piety; a homage to human nature despite its hateful and treacherous tendencies." Dry, knit-browed New Critics, trying to justify their unexpected fondness for such a man, are often as unsuccessful as connoisseurs trying to convey the exact flavor of a vintage wine. One thing that especially endears the poet to his colleagues, however, is his fashionable fondness for antinomies -his perception that life is lived in impossible tension between unresolvable opposites.

In the last act, Barabas gets caught in his own plot and sinks to a painful death in a "deep pit past recovery." His wile has betrayed him, and his snarling vengeance ("Damn'd Christians, dogs, and Turkish Infidels,") echoes across the stage. Having avoided the serious side of Barabas' treachery until...
