N2  - Marlowe portrays the king’s downfall as a result of his love for his favourites, Gaveston and Spencer; his neglect of his queen and earls; and the rise of Queen Isabella and her lover Mortimer. The play explores the tragic tensions between sexual passion and marriage, royal responsibility and self-fulfillment, noble privilege and raw ambition
