Measure for Measure
Shakespeare wrote his most morally uncomfortable comedy — a play where justice and mercy collide, nobody gets what they deserve, and the "happy ending" leaves a bitter taste.

Why It Matters
Shakespeare wrote his most morally uncomfortable comedy — a play where justice and mercy collide, nobody gets what they deserve, and the "happy ending" leaves a bitter taste. It is the key text for anyone interested in how law, power, and sexuality intersect. The play's refusal to be either comedy or tragedy makes it one of his most modern works.
The 
Take
Personal reviewDecent Shakespeare on hypocrisy, classic undercover boss by Shakespeare. And also eye for an eye, measure for measure concept. Nothing amazing though
