x, 241 pages ; 20 cm. This dark comedy, set in Vienna, explores virtue and sin. Claudio has been arrested for getting his mistress pregnant and Angelo, the strict, morality-spouting judge, has sentenced him to death. When Claudio's sister Isabella, a novice nun, begs Angelo to show mercy, he is instantly smitten, and offers Isabella a choice: her virginity for her brother's life. "No Fear Shakespeare gives you the complete text of Measure for Measure on the left-hand page, side-by-side with an easy-to-understand translation on the right...a complete list of characters with descriptions, and helpful commentary."--Page [4] of cover.
