Jonson relentlessly explores the idea of ​​hypocrisy as a mask for lust and lust as a perversion of human nature. Greed is everywhere: owning goods and being possessed! The perversity and deceptiveness of lust are constantly dramatized through the use of tricks and transformations. The themes mix. Volpone's thirst for gold leads him to deception and rhetoric far beyond the reach of the victims. Mosca, just as lustful as Volpone, responds to Volpone's desire for Celia. Mosca then pretends to be an acrobat, a symbol of greed and lies. Volpone's deformed and mutilated servants play on greed, hypocrisy and perversion to please their master. Finally, Volpone attempts to turn Celia into a valuable commodity. This is a major crisis in Volpone's turn of fortune. Subsequently, his vicious talents diminish and he becomes more and more exposed. In the final scene of the play, almost every character uses the word "possession" until it results in a definition: possessed by demons, after which the final transformations reveal the truth. As a desperate eleventh-hour device, Volpone removes his final disguise in order to drag all hypocrites into his own ruin. Virtue is narrowly saved by Jonson's virtuosity. However, the play is a comedy. While the characters are morally convulsive and disturbing, the deceptions and self-deceptions are also theatrically entertaining. Happy are the actors who
