TY - JOUR ID - 52943 AU - Krajník, Filip - Weiss, Michaela PY - 2021 TI - “Their hour will be his hour”: Margaret Atwood’s Hag-Seed and the Conventions of Renaissance Revenge Plays JF - Hradec Králové Journal of Anglophone Studies VL - 8 IS - 1 SP - 80-86 EP - 80-86 PB - Univerzita Hradec Králové SN - 23363347 KW - Margaret Atwood KW - Renaissance Revenge Plays KW - Shakespeare KW - The Tempest N2 - Although an openly radical re-imagination of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Margaret Atwood’s Hag-Seed (2016) is in many ways faithful to the Renaissance roots of its model. Streamlining the convoluted plot of the original and narrating it chiefly from the perspective of the story’s protagonist, Felix Phillips (the “Prospero” of the novel), Atwood’s text is centred on the motifs of (in)justice and personal revenge. This article argues that to emphasise her interpretation of the Shakespeare play, Atwood employs a number of conventional elements of Elizabethan and Jacobean revenge plays – such as the metatheatrical techniques, the strong character of the avenger, the presence of the ghost and the avenger’s death – making her novel not only a modernised version of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, but also a revival, of a kind, of a whole dramatic genre, whose popularity peaked in the late 16th and early 17th centuries and whose conventions permeate the structure of Hag-Seed’s narrative.
