Summary "Tamburlaine the Great — Part 2" by Christopher Marlowe is a historical play written during the late 16th century. The work continues the saga of the infamous conqueror Tamburlaine, known for his brutal conquests and the ambitious drive to expand his empire. This second part likely explores the ramifications of his victories, his turbulent relationships, and the challenges he faces from various kingdoms and characters. The opening of "Tamburlaine the Great — Part 2" sets the stage for the conflict that awaits as it introduces multiple factions preparing for war, including Orcanes, King of Natolia, and Sigismund, King of Hungary, who are wary of Tamburlaine's rising power. With tensions escalating, discussions of peace are overshadowed by the looming threats of war against the relentless Tamburlaine. Additionally, the prologue hints at personal stakes, emphasizing the poignant narrative of Zenocrate, Tamburlaine’s wife, and her state in this unfolding drama. These elements pave the way for a storyline rich in political intrigue, familial loyalties, and the tumult of battle, while establishing a powerful emotional undertow connected to Tamburlaine's character and his ambitions.
