By intertwining the conceptualizations of violence and the performativity of gender identity and roles, Estella Ciobanu posits that studying violence in drama provides valuable insights into the cultural and social aspects of the later Middle Ages. The text delves into these biblical plays through the lens of the devil, offering a distinctive perspective that uncovers medieval apprehensions about Christian teachings and power discourse.
