Epiocene's central plot is driven by Morose's concern that his nephew will inherit his estate if he (Morose) cannot produce an heir. Dauphine's motives to thwart his uncle's plan to marry and have a child are clear. However, why is Morose so opposed to Dauphine as heir apparent? More generally, why was the transfer of wealth such a dominant concern in 1609?
Morose cannot stand noise of any kind, including listening to others talk. Yet, he talks incessantly himself. Why is this? What does it comment on?
