Jonson relentlessly explores the idea of ​​hypocrisy as a mask for lust and lust as a perversion of human nature. Greed is everywhere: owning and being owned! The perversity and deception of lust are constantly dramatized through the use of tricks and transformations. The themes mix. Volpone's lust for gold leads him to deception and rhetoric far beyond the reach of the victims. Mosca, equally lustful as Volpone, satisfies Volpone's lust for Celia. Mosca then impersonates a charlatan, a symbol of greed and lies. Volpone's deformed and mutilated servants revel in greed, hypocrisy and perversion to please their master. Finally, Volpone attempts to turn Celia into a prize possession. This is a serious crisis in the turn of Volpone's fortunes. Subsequently his vicious talents diminish and he becomes more and more exposed. In the final scene of the play, almost every character uses the word "possession" until it culminates in one definition: possessed by demons, after which the final transformations reveal the truth. As a desperate eleventh-hour ploy, Volpone takes off his last disguise to drag all the hypocrites into his own ruin. Virtue is barely saved by Jonson's virtuosity. Yet comedy is comedy. While the characters are morally convulsive and disturbing, the deceptions and self-deceptions are also theatrically entertaining. Happy are the actors who
