The Tragedy of Mariam |(1613) by Elizabeth Cary is a play that depicts a very turn of gender roles and plot as a result of the “grotesque”. Cary shows Mariam as the character that flips the roles of the play and plot. Cary gives Mariam a public voice, exposing this trait as something demonic, and as an aspect that audiences in the Jacobean era are not used to seeing. In this paper I argue that Mariam and Salome in particular are performing the role of a grotesque wives. This performance creates the topsy-turvy world of carnivalesque misrule, making Mariam stand out as an outcast in a society that is used to obedient women and women that do not have public voices.
