I thoroughly enjoyed your review of Measure For Measure. I only had to Google three references. (I love learning new things. Now, if I just remember them.) I appreciate your translating Shakespeare into English. But even more, I appreciate the analysis, context, humor, and your moral meditations. Now, get back to work so that I may effortlessly enhance my personal culture. 🙂

Glad you got so much out of it. I like what you said, "translating Shakespeare into English." I would love to take Elizabethan as a second language.

Angelo is a Trunchbullish sort of character and I can see Eric Idle playing Bernadine with John Cleese playing the executioner. Hilarious.

That's funny. I thought of Roald Dahl more than once, with his edgy mix of humor and trauma.
