Action contained within one day, this tragedy marks the beginning of the end for Emperor Nero. Still able to be influenced by virtuous voices around him, Nero is even quicker to be influenced by voices that encourage him to act upon his basest desires. This play illustrates quite well the perils of government and power, where everyone is scheming for more influence. (
