Andrea (The Spanish Tragedy)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrea is the Spanish nobleman and lover of Bel-imperia whose ghost returns to look upon the events of The Spanish Tragedy, by Thomas Kyd.
The ghost of Don Andrea opens the play with a monologue describing the circumstances of his death in battle and his descent into the underworld. Andrea laments that he was killed by the Portuguese Prince Balthazar and taken away too soon from his love Bel-imperia. He makes his way to the court of Pluto, where Proserpine acts as his judge.
