what is Ben jonson's view or outlook of life in Volpone?

In order to fully anser this question you can consider a
few different aspects of Ben Jonson's life, and the play
itself.

• Ben Jonson was the son of a clergyman,
  who was raised by a bricklayer. He was part of the educated middle-class, but he spent
  his time and energy on engaging with the royal court, both for social reasons and for
  patronage.

• Volpone is satire,
  written in the tradition of the italitan comedie Commedia Dell'arte. most of the
  characters in Volpone can fit into the categories of stock characters used in in the
  Commedia (Master, Servant, lover, clown.)
  

• Jonson sets the play in
  Venice, rather than London, because taking the nobles, servants and fools out of London
  and placing them in the "corrupt" setting of Italy allows Jonson more license to poke
  fun at the noble and rising middle class characters without upsetting the Church of
  England, or his noble English patrons.

Any of
these would m ake good jumping off points for thinking about how Jonson demonstrated his
social outlook in Volpone
