Set in Venice, the satirical comedy drama explores themes of greed and deception through the character of Volpone, a wealthy man feigning illness to attract those eager to inherit his fortune. His clever servant, Mosca, aids in orchestrating a series of intricate schemes that expose the moral corruption of those around them, including lawyers and fortune-seekers. Jonson critiques the obsession with wealth and the lengths individuals will go to obtain it, highlighting the folly and vice inherent in Venetian society.
