I have a lot of feelings about this. literally ten pages worth of feelings about this. Jesus christ.

This is a very interesting and thought-provoking play. First things first, yes there is incest in this play. Yet, Ford asks you to view the sin of incest in relation to the reality in which these heroes live- where everyone and everything is immoral and the only other good soul they could find to love is within their own family.
It's very controversial, yet very interesting and way ahead of its time.

Maybe it was the audiobook's fault but I did not enjoy this one. It was boring, I could not concentrate on what was going on..

The title should be “tis a pity your brother is a crazy annoying creep” or “tis a pity both your kids are crazy”. This book isn’t even bad in a fun way, it’s just gross.

Yeah no this was pretty awful. For some reason I thought this was going to be comedy, but that was not the case. If it had been, I feel like there would have been some redeemable qualities, instead all you get is the most devious incest plot, smack in the middle of the play at that.
I really don’t know what the goal of the author was, or if this was just the way English people rolled in the 1600s. It’s just so incredibly random and bizzarre, ultimately blaming the girl for it, blurry consent all over, weird enablers all around, man it was rough.

I'm not a fan of plays generally, but I love this play. Though the book is about incest, I can't help but love it and find it interesting and funny- as well as shocking. It's a juicy play and one you will probably cringe at

Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet... if they were brother and sister, and the verse was easier to digest.
