Translated by Christoph Martin Wieland
A play that likely dates back to the early 17th century during Shakespeare's prolific writing period. This comedic work explores themes of justice, morality, and mercy through its characters' complex interactions. The plot centers around Claudio, a young nobleman condemned to death, and his sister Isabella, who seeks to save him from the harsh punishment meted out by the strict and newly appointed deputy, Angelo. The opening of ''Maaß für Maaß'' introduces us to the Duke of Vienna, who is about to leave the city and appoints Angelo as his temporary replacement to enforce the city’s laws. The Duke expresses his concern over the laxity of governance he has allowed, which has led to a moral decay in the city. As the structure of power shifts, Claudio is arrested for impregnating Juliet, and Isabella is introduced as his virtuous sister who becomes embroiled in the unfolding conflict. The scenes switch between the Duke in disguise and the struggles of those in the city, setting up a tension between authority, righteousness, and personal morality that underpins much of the drama to come.
