I think this is referred to as one of the "problem" plays, in that some of the characters behave nastily without punishment. It's one of my favorites.

Observed some great scenes from this in acting class and was immediately compelled to come home and read it with Arrow. Had a lot of fun with it, it’s definitely a quirky one that inspires a lot of interesting discussion.

I don’t know, it’s just not my vibe, and I have to be deciphering all this old English half the time, so I’m thinking about giving it another go when I grow up or give up entirely.
