The play demonstrates these characters as "comedians" which meant that their motivation in the play: to give some lighthearted element. While the subject of their dialog is overwhelming and dim, their treatment of it is entertaining, dull cleverness. For instance, one of the undertakers tries to sound extremely keen and authority. He clarifies that "a demonstration hath three branches - it is to act, to do, and to perform; argal, she suffocated herself wittingly." This is interesting in light of the fact that the three branches he says are in reality all equivalent words for each other and after that as opposed to utilizing the best possible word, "consequently" signifying "it tails" he utilizes the mis-word "argal." After that, he facetiously showcases the scene of her suffocating, which would presumably have components of physical drama when found in a live execution.
Raphael was heavily influenced by the works of the Italian painter Leonardo d Vinci when he moved to Florence, Italy in 1504. Raphael produced a series of "Madonnas," in 1507and experimented with da Vinci’s style. In his painting “The Small Cowper Madonna”. The tilt of the head reflects a pyramid shape, distinct of Da Vinci’s artwork.
