Synopsis:
This book presents a detailed commentary on a play of the early 16th century, written as a tragedy and focusing on the reign of the Borgias. The play positions religious hypocrisy against desire - highlighting the contradictions that might exist between one's public and private life, the way unchecked ambition can corrupt, and how personal actions can have exceptionally broad repercussions. Ultimately, the author capably demonstrates how these ideas were not exclusive to that time and place, and continue to manifest in present society.
