 In 1731 Fielding reworked and expanded the play under the title '''''[[The Tragedy of Tragedies]]''''', also known as '''''[[The Tragedy of Tragedies, or The Life and Death of Tom Thumb the Great]]'''''. It tells the story of a character who is small in stature and status, yet is granted the hand of a princess in marriage; the infuriated queen and another member of the court subsequently attempt to destroy the marriage.
