Alexander Leggatt writes that If the audience applauds—and it will—it is registering its approval of a character who has broken rule after rule in a serious moral scheme that lies beneath the entire Jonson canon. That Jonson allows this shows he is willing to identify Volpone with his own delight in artistic creation, a delight that supplements and at times overrides his critical judgement of the character. See Ben Jonson His Vision and His Art (London and New York Methuen, 1981), 29.
