Measure for Measure: The Dark Comedy

The last part of Shakespeare's wonderful comedy is the dark comedy of the "Measuring Scale", the darkest part of his comedy, and the transition to his tragedy. Unlike other Shakespeare comedies, this drama is more like a tragedy than a comedy in many ways. In setting, intrigue and role development, countermeasures have a tragic tune, but the hero has really lost his life, so the play is considered a comedy. Almost every Shakespeare comedy has two places: real crime, punishment and responsibility, and pastoral world.

The "TaylorMade" model is built on the "Unfair Judge's Story" model and offers us an atmosphere that is hardly seen in Shakespeare's comedy. The play is full of the real threats of libido 's impulses, sexual desire, authority abuse, humiliation and death, and the role of life is not paying close attention to Shakespeare' s comedy. Prisons, brothels, courts, and very unpleasant closed and dark places are the places where most actions take place.

There may not be a good solution to the personal and social problems raised in measuring the scale. It has led many critics to call it a problem drama or a dark comedy. The word "problem drama" appeared because it was difficult for critics to harmonize the dark and cynical tone of Shakespeare's play with the general characteristics of the comedy. After all, measure measurements were included in the comedy of the first comedy (1623), but in many ways it does not seem to be all comedy. Indeed, the couple settled at the end of the script, but the settlement paid a great price (Claudio was almost killed, Isabella was raised and Angelo was forced to get married) . There is forgiveness, but it is very nervous; there is correction, but that is the result of fraud, deception and manipulation. Overall, the drama left a bitter taste in the mouth. In this regard, Measure for Measure shares many things with many players like Alls Well, the result is very good, Troilus!

Some Shakespeare comedies such as "measurement" and "everything goes well" have abnormal symptoms accompanied by a mixture of humor and tragedy, which leads to classification as a problem. It is unknown whether these imbalances in the play are due to incomplete understanding of humor and society in the Elizabethan era or by intentionally mixed styles of Shakespeare and destructive spectators. In the life of Shakespeare, he wrote 17 comedies. Cinberine, which is posted as a comedy in this article, is included in the tragedy of the first episode, but there are many features of so-called "dead romance" (including happy end).
