This was an ok Shakespeare play. I felt like reading one of his less famous plays this week. It's a play about morality. A deputy Angelo wants to get Claudio in trouble for getting a girl pregnant before marriage. Claudio's sister Isabella who is a nun tries to help her brother only Angelo shows his hypocritical side by asking for sex for Claudio's release. This play discusses what should be lawful and the age-old debate between hypocrisy and morality. Angelo is really unlikable. It looks like there are a few movie adaptations of this. It wasn't
Hamlet but it did have ideas. I should explore Shakespeare's other minor works.
