Measure for Measure - (Folger Shakespeare Library) Annotated by William Shakespeare (Paperback)

Measure for Measure is a thought-provoking play that explores themes of morality, justice, and power.

The duke, concerned about the decline in moral values among his subjects, temporarily abdicates his position and delegates authority to Angelo, who quickly becomes a tyrannical ruler.

Isabella, Claudio's sister, pleads for her brother's life when he is condemned to death by Angelo, but Angelo attempts to extort sex from her in exchange for mercy.

The duke, disguised as a friar, overhears their conversation and offers to help Isabella in her fight against Angelo.
