Measure for Measure illustrated

By: Shakespeare, William

"Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall..."In the subtle, complex and troubling Measure for Measure, Vienna is in a state of lawlessness and immorality.Perhaps the most problematic of all the so-called darker comedies of Shakespeare, Measure for Measure is the Bard's fascinating but warped study of what happens when inflexible morality is brought to bear on a decadent society: Measure for Measure doesn't have a single character whom modern readers are likely to root for.Young Claudio and his betrothed, Juliet, have consummated their relationship before marriage; for this dreadful moral offense, the Duke's deputy, Angelo, sentences Claudio to death.
