Measure for Measure

"Measure for Measure" by William Shakespeare explores themes of morality and justice. When the Duke of Vienna temporarily leaves, he appoints Angelo to enforce strict laws against immorality. Angelo condemns Claudio to death for premarital sex. Claudio's sister Isabella, a novice nun, pleads for mercy. Angelo agrees to spare Claudio if Isabella sleeps with him. The Duke, disguised as a friar, intervenes. Through intrigue and mistaken identities, the play delves into the complexities of power, virtue, and human nature.
