1.0 out of 5 stars Study book already studied by somebody else.
Quite disappointing as I purchased this book described as used-good to receive a book primarily for my daughter to study English "A"level to find that there where so many annotations in the margin as to render it unhelpful. She is honest enough to want to work from her own assessments not other people's. Feel misused. Not good..
3.0 out of 5 stars Bit misinformed
Was okay other than the fact it specified it was basically brand new but has writing over two pages which I was unaware of and I also believe it is an older version to the one I wanted to buy. Bit misinformed
5.0 out of 5 stars Read it at school - without a doubt one of Shakespeare's best
Barcode: 9780435193119Everyone does Shakespeare at school but i'll confess that out of all his plays i had never heard of Measure For Measure before. But boy am i pleased i had the chance to stufy it as it really is a fascinating play. The ideas presented come across remarkably forward thinking and the characters are just fantastic - they'll move you to rage, move you to sympathy and above all totally involve you in this fantastic story.This edition is a really good one, really well produced and neatly layed out with the as standard annotations and summaries - but done in an easily understandable and concise way.I won't spoil the plot for those who haven't read the play but it basically deals with a scheming Duke who shucks his duties as ruler of Vienna, leaving it in charge of Angelo, a man who initially seems impossibly cold and emotionless but as the plot progresses, is tempted by a trainee nun - Isabella. Her brother is on trial for bearing a child into an unmarried relationship and the only way Isabella can save him is if she sleeps with Angelo. But the plot gets really murky here as she offers the instantly provoking line 'more than our brother's life is our chastity'.As i've said before, once you get into the play it is absolutely fascinating and feels as if its on an epic scale - people playing with their very essence against a backdrop of a city which has descended into sin. As with all Shakespeare plays, the play is open to interpretations - but Measure For Measure for so than most others epitomises this. Certainly in my class, opinions were very divided on some of the characters and why they do what the do and part of what hooks you so much with this play is that you are forced to make judgement on these characters - in many ways almost involving you in the events themselves - truly the mark of any great work of fiction.
