The play features a complex web of relationships and revenge, with Sebastian fighting to reclaim his betrothed from Antonio, while the Duchess seeks vengeance on the Duke for a past humiliation. The illicit affair between Abberzanes and Francesca adds to the intrigue. Notably, the witches in the story serve as credible agents of malevolence, heightening the dramatic tension. This edition offers a modern scholarly perspective on a work that remained unpublished until 1778, enriching the understanding of its themes and characters.
