Abstract
Analysing the different ways in which the persistent trope of the disabled villain manifests on the early modern stage is, I believe, necessary work. There has been no extended scholarly account of this phenomenon; analyses of the fictional disabled villain have generally served as side arguments to larger discussions regarding the placement of disability in cultural consciousness.
