Research question:How does terrorism feature in early modern drama and how do twenty-first century theatre makers use early modern drama to investigate contemporary terrorism?Hypothesis:Despite the term 'terrorism' first appearing during the Reign of Terror, violent events of a similar nature occurred in the early modern period and were reflected in drama of the time. These violent events, aimed at disrupting the balance of power, either featured directly - the Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre in The Massacre at Paris - or were implied - the Gunpowder Plot in Macbeth. Thus, while the term 'terrorism' itself didn't feature yet, there existed what Appelbaum (2015) calls a 'mythography' of terrorism that enabled people to think about it as a concept: an often spectacular, violent act meant to solve a perceived political crisis.

研究问题：恐怖主义在早期现代戏剧中的特点是什么？世纪的戏剧创作者如何利用早期现代戏剧来研究当代恐怖主义？假设：尽管“恐怖主义”一词首次出现在恐怖统治时期，但类似性质的暴力事件发生在现代早期，并反映在当时的戏剧中。这些暴力事件旨在破坏权力平衡，要么直接表现为《巴黎大屠杀》中的圣巴塞洛缪日大屠杀，要么被暗示为《麦克白》中的火药阴谋。因此，虽然“恐怖主义”一词本身还没有出现，但存在Appelbaum（2015）所说的恐怖主义“神话”，使人们能够将其视为一个概念：一种通常壮观的暴力行为，旨在解决感知到的政治危机。
