110/114 - Such was the (as it were) Jacobean etiology of Esther's eventual trip to Cuba; which see.
Pynchon must mean "Jacobean" in the sense of the Jacobean revenge-plays, written during the reign of James I (1603 – 1625) in England, the hallmarks of such plays being lust, revenge and murder. Where the plays of the Elizabethan era (1558-1603) were characterized by a sense of providential justice, a sense that the ravages of evil will ultimately be overcome by an inevitable movement of the cosmos toward moral harmony, Jacobean tragedies tended to depict corruption and violence that did not suggest divine retribution, the ultimate triumph of good and restoration of moral order.
