The Changeling is a joint theatrical work by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley. The play is a revenge tragedy full of erotic passion and sexual obsession. Consists of two plots; Thomas Middleton wrote the main plot of the play, while Rowley wrote the sub-plot.  The events of the play take place in the Italian city of Alicante in the 17th century. It revolves around the resounding fall of an aristocratic lady as a result of her pursuit of lustful love.  The protagonist suffers from the authority of her servant, who robbed her of her virginity and involved her in the ropes of his plots and crimes, resulting in a tragic ending.  The subplot was used to provide a comparison between the world of Isabella, a virtuous lady who is content with her luck in marrying a man older than her, and the man who has a psychological disorder.  She maintains her chastity despite the attempts of some lurkers, such as Lollio, Antonio, and Francisco, to trap her and take off her honor, and Beatrice-Joanna, a lady from high society who falls into the swamp of marital betrayal and vice.
