It is a dark comedy that explores themes of morality, justice, and mercy. The story takes place in Vienna, where Duke Vincentio decides to leave the city in the hands of his deputy, Angelo, while he goes on a journey. Angelo, who is known for his strict adherence to the law, decides to enforce the city's long-neglected laws against fornication and adultery. He sentences a young man named Claudio to death for impregnating his fianc�����e before they were married. Claudio's sister, Isabella, a novice nun, pleads with Angelo to spare her brother's life, but Angelo demands that she sleep with him in exchange for Claudio's release. Isabella refuses, and the play follows her attempts to save her brother and navigate the corrupt world of Vienna's justice system. The play features a cast of complex characters, including the Duke, who disguises himself as a friar to observe the events in Vienna, and a group of bawdy characters who provide comic relief. Measure for Measure is a thought-provoking play that raises questions about the nature of justice and the role of mercy in a society governed by law.Teach her the way: oh, heauens Why doe's my bloud thus muster to my heart, Making both it vnable for it selfe, And dispossessing all my other parts Of necessary fitnesse?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
