Vincentio, the Duke of Vienna, makes it known that he intends to leave the city on a diplomatic mission. He leaves the government in the hands of a strict judge, Angelo. Under Vincentio's government, the city's harsh laws against fornication have been laxly enforced, but Angelo is known to be a hard-liner on matters of sexual immorality.

But the Duke has not in fact left the city. He remains there disguised as a friar in order to spy on his city's affairs, and especially the actions of Angelo. Often characterized as one of Shakespeare's "problem plays" Measure For Measure is best described as a dark comedy.

Behold, behold where Madam Mitigation comes.
Our natures do pursue a thirsty evil.
 
Is there a maiden with child by him?.
I beseech you sir, look into this gentleman's face.
