measure against a nights dream
|
|
|
Measure for Measure is a play that is very different from A Midsummer Night's Dream. The comedy in this play is very raw. The atmosphere of the two plays are different but they both deal with the same issue of sexuality. After the Duke has left the city in Angelo's hands, he wants to show his power by condemning Claudio to death because he got Juliet pregnant. Angelo is not being reasonable because he has let the power go to his head. Angelo has also had sex out of wedlock, he just did not get Mariana pregnant. In this play sex is portrayed as much more dangerous than it has been in the other two plays. After Claudio is jailed, he makes a plea to his sister, Isabella , to help him obtain a pardon for his offense.
