About this book

When the Duke of Vienna leaves the city in the hands of his stern deputy Angelo, the puritanical official revives an old law and sentences a young man named Claudio to death for getting his betrothed pregnant. Claudio's sister, a novice nun named Isabella, pleads for mercy, and Angelo counters with a monstrous bargain: her chastity for her brother's life. Meanwhile the Duke, disguised as a friar, watches the crisis unfold and quietly steers it toward a reckoning. One of Shakespeare's so-called problem plays, it wrestles with justice, hypocrisy, and the gap between public virtue and private desire, refusing easy answers even in its uneasy comic ending.
