Abstract

Measure for Measure has been criticized as an inferior play mainly because the characters have no consistency in their personalities and behaviors. This play, however, can be understood wholly when we see it through the mirror structure. Both Angelo and Isabella, like legalists who follow strict rules of conduct, may seem righteous. But Measure for Measure warns against the subtle dangers of legalism. Measure for Measure has a structure like the parable of the unmerciful servant from the bible, who refuses to forgive a debtor even after his own lord has had much more mercy on himself. Though Angelo may seem righteous, he himself has same lust for women and has sinned as Claudio, whom he wants to judge. Isabella may seem innocent and virtuous, but she has the same cold and inhumane characteristics that Angelo has. The Duke may seem holy and generous, he also turns out to have a lust for women as Angelo and Claudio, which is the main source of sins. All the characters mirror themselves unto the others, but they can not find themselves in the mirrors of others. The main fault of characters is that they do not see themselves rather than that they are conscious hypocrites. This drama tells us that any man may not judge any other while he himself has sins which have to be judged by God. The role of Law is not only to punish the sinners but also to reflect what the sin is. As one should reflect himself in the mirror in order to clean the dirty parts of his face, we have to see ourselves in the mirrors, which personify others. Shakespeare suggests that 'seeing correctly' is the first step to being righteous and keeping social order and moral order in this world.
