Abstract
In its own unique way, Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure portrays the harsh reality and the struggles of the prostitutes who were prosecuted by the same men with whom they had sex. Nevertheless, despite the fact that prostitutes had a hard time, women in general were not in a favourable situation. Their lives were dictated by men who decided their destiny as if they owned it. In the eyes of a man, a woman was neither smart enough nor capable of doing the same things that men did. Moreover, women were expected to follow the standards of good behaviour with which men would just often get away. Being liable to temptation by nature, they made good men fall into sin. Therefore, marrying a man that would take care of them was all they could hope for. For this reason, the decision to escape the burden of marriage was seen as unnatural and did not meet with the society’s approval. Yet, it turns that, in reality, neither men nor women are free from sin. They are born as sinners; they die as sinners; they are sinners by nature. Therefore, it is not up to them to mete out the measure to all.
