Written in 1633, 'Tis Pity She's A Whore is a Jacobean tragedy by John Ford (a different John Ford).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })To put it plainly, it's Romeo and Juliet meets Brother–Sister Incest.It's set in Italy because it's about sex and emotions. Two young lovers are in a Secret Relationship. The boy has a friar as confidant; the girl has a saucy nurse. It all ends in tragedy.Here though, the two forbidden young lovers—Giovanni and Annabella—are brother and sister, and the play explores the social ramifications of incest. Several sub-plots (not Shakespeare's) are woven into the story that involve Anabella's other suitors, an assassination attempt, and an unexpected return from the dead.Trendsetter of one pattern in The Joy of X fun: 'Tis Pity She's a(n) X is ever so popular as it creates very memorable and hilarious titles.If you want to see it, there's a BBC radioplay staring Jessie Buckley and Damien Molony available here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

comment
Anyone Can Die: In this story, nobody goes safe. That's partly because the cast features several murderous characters, and partly because only some of them manage to avoid accidentally murdering the wrong person by pure incompetence.

comment
Anguished Declaration of Love: And how. Giovanni is understandably a bit nervous about confessing his love to his own sister. He goes so far as to take out his dagger and offer it to Annabella, asking her to either return his love or kill him. After initially seeming surprised and disturbed, she declares that she was already in love with him, too.

comment
Abhorrent Admirer: Bergetto, an idiot who believes that a traveler really owns a horse with a head where its tail should be and compliments Annabella by saying that he likes her almost as much as he likes parmesan cheese. Sometimes portrayed with Ambiguously Gay mannerisms. Contrary to the trope, however, he isn't actually interested in Annabella, only courting her at his uncle's insistence.
