When reading the first act of The Duchess of Malfi, I couldn’t help but notice on page 1434, when Bosola states that “He and his brother are like plum trees that grow crooked over standing pools….” how this seems super similar to how Donne uses metaphor, in the sense that it is essentially a long extended metaphor.

Also, I was curious how the “geometry” of the body (“man’s head lies at that man’s foot”) which Webster speaks of could connect to the “symmetry” of the body Donne explores in his “Sappho” poem.
