 | | Deception and Substitution: Catalysts for Change | | by Peaches O'Neil, Sep 6, 2007 | | Shakespeare transforms Cinthio's "Hecatommithi" in the play "Measure for Measure": in one of these transformations Shakespeare's Duke stays in Vienna disguised as a friar, whereas his counterpart, the Emperor in Hecatommithi, does not reside in the City of Innsbruck. Through analyzing two passages from Measure for Measure, one can see the many layers of deception and substitution the Duke's presence adds to the play. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 7 |
