Tamburlaine

by

Christopher Marlowe

Zabina is Bajazeth’s wife. She matches her husband’s tireless capacity to deliver verbal abuse against Tamburlaine, of course falling on deaf ears. She and Zenocrate verbally spar while their husbands make war, providing a female counterpart to the battle. When Zenocrate finds her and Bajazeth’s corpses after their suicides, however, she feels remorse.

For he that gives him other food than this
Shall sit by him and starve to death himself.

If they would lay their crowns before my feet,
Shall ransom him or take him from his cage.
