Answer:

Set in the Italian city of Malfi, the play tells the story of the Duchess, a young widow who falls in love with the lower-class Antonio. The Duchess' evil brothers, Duke Ferdinand and the Cardinal, don't really approve of the Duchess marrying Antonio. However, the Duchess and Antonio marry in secret and have three children before being found out.

The Duchess and Antonio attempt to run away and Antonio and their eldest child manage to escape. However, the Duchess is betrayed by her servant Bosola, who was secretly working for Ferdinand, and the Duchess and her two younger children are executed. The injustice of this turns Bosola against the Cardinal and Ferdinand and he swears to exact revenge for the Duchess.

The play ends in an escalating chain of violence, as first the Cardinal confesses his role in the murders to his mistress and then murders her. Bosola then mistakenly kills a returning Antonio, thinking him to be the Cardinal. Bosola eventually succeeds in killing the Cardinal and then he and Ferdinand kill each other in a brawl. The play ends with Antonio and the Duchess' eldest son taking his place as heir to Malfi.
