Measure for Measure
of William Shakespeare, Barbara A. Mowat (Editor), Paul Werstine (Editor)
Description
Measure for Measure is among the most passionately discussed of Shakespeareâs plays. In it, a duke temporarily removes himself from governing his city-state, deputizing a member of his administration, Angelo, to enforce the laws more rigorously. Angelo chooses as his first victim Claudio, condemning him to death because he impregnated Juliet before their marriage.Claudioâs sister Isabella, who is entering a convent, pleads for her brotherâs life. Angelo attempts to extort sex from her, but Isabella preserves her chastity. The duke, in disguise, eavesdrops as she tells her brother about Angeloâs behavior, then offers to ally himself with her against Angelo.
