Résumé

"Measure for Measure" by William Shakespeare is a thought-provoking exploration of justice, morality, and human nature. Set in Vienna, the play follows Duke Vincentio as he temporarily relinquishes power to the strict Judge Angelo, who enforces draconian laws against immorality. When Angelo condemns Claudio to death for impregnating his fiancée before marriage, Claudio's sister Isabella pleads for his life, leading to a complex moral dilemma. As secrets unravel and characters grapple with their own desires and flaws, "Measure for Measure" offers a compelling examination of the tension between mercy and justice, virtue and vice. Shakespeare's nuanced portrayal of ethical ambiguity and the complexities of power makes this play a timeless exploration of the human condition.
