| dc.description.abstract | Measure for Measure is a Shakespearean problem play that examines justice, morality, and the abuse of power. Set in Vienna, the Duke temporarily delegates authority to the strict and self-righteous Angelo, who enforces long-neglected laws with harsh severity. When Claudio is sentenced to death for immoral conduct, his sister Isabella, a novice nun, pleads for mercy. Angelo, however, offers to spare Claudio only if Isabella sacrifices her virtue. Disguised as a friar, the Duke secretly observes and manipulates events to expose corruption and restore order. Blending dark themes with moments of irony and resolution, the play questions the balance between justice and compassion. | |
