Depicts a morally corrupt world where the desire for justice is contaminated by the obsession for revenge. The characters take pleasure in watching adultery, incest and murder. The play's chief moral spokesman, Vindice, is at the same time enamoured of and disgusted by, the luxury of the court.

R. A. Foakes's new introduction locates the play in relation to recent criticism, and explores its complexities with an eye to its contemporary relevance in the present age. This is supplemented by a guide to some of the best recent readings of the play and a commentary to help the reader with difficulties of language.
