The play, God's Great Supper, dramatizes the extended metaphor of revenge with fast-paced action, sharp imagery and powerful narration. There is the strong sense of Jed being carried away, of being caught up in the overwhelming energy and drive of the powerful emotions associated with the desire for revenge. As a result the audience is carried away as well and feels the intensity of war, death and grief with him.
