Publisher Description Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.Can one life be measured against another? Can a womans body be measured against a mans life? Can consensual sex be measured against rape? Measure for Measure explores these questions through a series of substitutions: Angelo deputises for the Duke, who disguises himself to spy on his subjects; corrupt Angelo demands that almost-nun Isabella gives her body in exchange forher brothers life; and the Duke substitutes living bodies and decapitated heads to bring about a happy ending in this problematic comedy.
