"Shakespeare (Volume 2 of 2)" by Gustav Landauer is a literary analysis written in the early 20th century. The text delves into the intricacies of Shakespeare's works, offering interpretations and insights into key plays, themes, and character dynamics. The primary focus appears to be on examining the tension between morality, power, and human desire as portrayed in Shakespeare's comedies and tragedies, particularly through discussions of specific characters and plots. At the start of the volume, the author introduces Shakespeare’s play "Measure for Measure" and presents it as a profound exploration that straddles the line between comedy and tragedy. Landauer describes the play's complex characters, especially the strict judge Angelo and his interactions with Isabella, whose moral fortitude is tested as she pleads for her brother's life. The narrative sets the scene with the Duke of Vienna's departure and Angelo's enforcement of laws that lead to severe consequences, emphasizing themes of justice, hypocrisy, and the contradictions of human nature that Shakespeare masterfully weaves into the plot. As the opening unfolds, it builds anticipation for the rich character arcs and ethical dilemmas ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 53.7 (10th to 12th grade).
