Produktbeschreibung

"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.

Autorenporträt

William Shakespeare (bapt. 26 April 1564 ¿ 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
