L'opera del mendicante

The play's sharp critique of corruption and morality was groundbreaking for its time. I'm curious how it shaped subsequent political or social plays.

The characters often blur the lines between villain and hero, which made me wonder about the author's intentions in portraying them this way.

Choosing to focus on beggars, thieves, and criminals gave the story a raw, gritty feel. I'm interested in what motivated that setting choice.
