I am not even finished with Measure for Measure yet, and I still find it one of the most interesting and complex Shakespearean plays I have read. Not so much the plot or the characters, it--the play itself. The characteristics I see in it. Review to elaborate later.

Naturally, the play I have read that it feels reminiscent of is The Merchant of Venice, the other "dark" play I have read. (I don't like describing them with the word "dark" when they're simply serious, but I don't see a more appropriate term.)

I'm reading it quite slowly, because I hardly have sufficient concentration recently to digest poetry.
