dc.description.abstractIn Volpone, the major characters are defined by the language they use and how they use it to influence the beliefs and behaviour of others. Volpone and Mosca exercise their cheating through a carefully controlled dramatisation of their own selves. Their verbal fraud assumes a complex and almost metaphysical quality: these are actors outside and inside the economy of the play. They are players in self-engendered plot. Even if they are finally outwitted by the course of events, they are still authorial figures. These and other occurrences of wilful verbal deceit in the play and the different roles they play in Jonson’s strategy of satire are analysed below. Em Volpone, as personagens principais definem-se pela linguagem utilizada e pela forma como a usam para influenciar os comportamentos alheios. Volpone e Mosca praticam as suas fraudes recorrendo a uma cuidadosa dramatização de si mesmos. Esta fraude verbal apresenta caracterĆ­sticas complexas e quase metafĆ­sicas: trata-se aqui de actores dentro e fora da peƧa, que representam um enredo por eles criado. Mesmo sendo finalmente derrotados pelo curso da história, continuam a ser figuras autoriais. Estas e outras ocorrĆŖncias de fraudes verbais deliberadas e os diferentes papĆ©is que estes desempenham nas estratĆ©gias satĆ­ricas de Jonson sĆ£o aqui analisadas.por
