1600-1603
Shakespeare
Measure for Measure
D+
The title suggests a comedy like As You Like It, but instead it's the story of a hypocritical politician who gets tricked into sleeping with his wife while thinking he's successfully blackmailing a virgin into bargaining for her fornicating brother's life. Oh, and there's the Duke sneaking around disguised as a friar in order to spot the corruption of the politician he's appointed, and not speaking up till the end.
