Murray also points out that Hieronimo seems to be delaying the revenge cycle throughout his play. Murray emphasizes that the play is about how in the end love will kill and how the characters in the play were acting the opposite parts of their true selves their acting roles did not reflect their true character. The author mostly dwells on the analysis of Hieronimo's play within a play. Murray's Thomas Kyd, he has his own summary and analysis of Hieronimo in The Spanish Tragedy. Literature of 16th century England was greatly concerned with plots of deceit, confusion and madness as its central theme. Many critics see Hieronimo as a dynamic character that by the end of the tragedy has become obsessed with taking revenge against the murderers of his son. This performance mirrors the actual events surrounding Horatio's death, and within this show Hieronimo commits his own acts of revenge against the perpetrators. He uses his position in the King's court to write and perform a play within a play. In order to revenge the death of his son, Hieronimo takes on additional roles, a playwright and an actor. However, the difference in social status becomes apparent when his son is wrongfully murdered by Balthazar, the son of the viceroy of Portugal, and Lorenzo, the son of the Duke of Spain, which eventually causes tragic events to unfold. In the onset of the play he is a dedicated servant to the King of Spain. He is the knight marshal of Spain and the father of Horatio.
