A good deal of the play can be seen as a struggle between what is inside and outside, or what is familiar and unfamiliar. While the Jews of Malta are well-accustomed to the land, they consider themselves to be "strangers"-and they are treated as such by Ferneze. The larger framework of the play hinges on the arrival of an outside force that will disrupt Malta's internal peace. When the Turks do manage to invade the island temporarily, it is only with the help of Barabas, who has been thrown outside the city walls. As it turns out, even the Spanish forces never arrive to live in Malta, and the island comes to regain its independence.
