Theme of revenge in the play?

Revenge plays were common in the Elizabethan and Jacobean theater (1588-1625), and The Jew of Malta is among them. No offense is greater to Barabas, the Jewish merchant, than the confiscation of his fortune. He therefore sets out to take his vengeance against the governor Ferneze. In the process he kills many innocent individuals-including his own daughter. At the play develops, Barabas seems to take more and more pleasure from the execution of his schemes. The desire for revenge thus spirals rapidly out of control.
