Abstract

Shakespeare's Measure for Measure has risen to an extraordinary diversity of critical opinion and interpretation. Various schools of criticism, whether they be theistic or secular, have responded to the play in their own ways. If some critics have seen the work as an "arch-problem" and "difficult" play, there are some other critics also who have seen the play as a "funny" work. If critics like Eileen Mackay have found the play "unsatisfactory" and "un-Shakespearean" , critics like John Masefield have gone to the extent of identifying the play as "one of the greatest works of the greatest English mind.
