Definitely not one of Shakespeare’s strongest. Lucio is pretty funny though. 

Women are very much used as props and objects by men in this show and there’s some pretty unsavory plot devices regarding forcing marriages.

It is however a pretty good display of the hypocrisy often displayed by people in power.
