This play delves into the unraveling of personal relationships within the context of infidelity and murder, centering around the character Thomas Arden, whose life and marriage come undone by betrayal and ambition. Key characters include Arden’s wife, Alice, and her lover, Mosbie, illustrating themes of deceit and jealousy. The opening of the play introduces Thomas Arden, who is tormented by jealousy over his wife Alice's rumored infidelity with Mosbie.
