She hires a servant to murder her fianc����� so she can be with her true love, but things quickly spiral out of control.The second play, Women Beware Women, is a dark comedy that explores the themes of lust, power, and corruption. The play follows the lives of several women in the court of the Duke of Florence, as they navigate the dangerous political landscape and struggle to maintain their own autonomy.The final play in the collection, More Dissemblers Besides Women, is a satire that skewers the hypocrisy and double standards of the upper classes. The play follows the lives of several characters as they engage in various schemes and deceptions in order to gain wealth and status.Overall, The Works of Thomas Middleton Volume 6 is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Jacobean drama, and showcases Middleton's skill as a playwright and his ability to tackle complex and controversial themes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
