The Drama
Dulcitius stood out among many things I have read due to the religious nature involved. I found that not only did it have a ton of religious references but it also had some blatant racism in it when they mentioned that one point Dulcitius looked like an ethiope which as a result made him look like if he was either cursed or possessed by the devil.
The religious aspect of Dulcitius however was the main component and it really did a good job in portraying that god is almighty, works miracles, and watches over his followers so long as they remain faithful to only him and not submit to any false idols. The best example of it, in my opinion, was the scene in the script where the flames that were meant to incinerate the sisters actually protected them. The reason i believe the flames to be the best example is because in the bible flames usually represent something sacred and in some cases god himself so in a way it could be seen as god protecting the sisters himself.
Based on all of the religious references one can only believe that the whole point of the play was to get the person watching/ reading the play to either believe i god or reinforce the belief in him. The three sisters were the instruments used to get the point across showing how their steadfast belief in their god kept them safe from the onslaught of the non-believers.
Overall i found the script to be an accomplished piece of work that does not fail at putting its holy message across. The characters were polar opposites from each other which is what makes them go together as protagonist and antagonist so well.
The picture above is from theater unbound and depicts the some of the cast all women due to it being an all female production.
