Answer choice (D) is correct because the author of the passage suggests that Webster's characters are not "an eccentric feature of [his] own tragic vision" (lines 15-16), but rather are influenced by the more morally complicated tradition of Italian drama.
Answer choice (E) is incorrect because the author only describes one viewpoint in addition to their own and they are focused on explaining why this viewpoint is misguided.
