Study Day - William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure (1603/4) & Much Ado About Nothing (1598/9)

Shakespearean comedy promises ultimate reconciliation but this is never achieved without pain and suffering and never includes everyone. Measure for Measure explores the conflict between public role and private feelings that can arise in someone appointed to enforce the law. While the romantic comedy elements of Much Ado About Nothing are often prioritised, the play exposes an instinctive endorsement of stereotypical attitudes.
