About the book

William Shakespeare's Measure for Measure is a dark comedy set in Vienna, where Duke Vincentio temporarily hands authority to the severe Angelo. When Angelo rigidly enforces laws against sexual misconduct, the novice Isabella is forced into a moral and personal crisis involving her condemned brother Claudio. The play explores justice, mercy, hypocrisy, sexual power and the dangers of absolute moral certainty.
