"The Disposition of Natures": Aristotle, Comedy, and Shakespare's Measure for Measure

Animus 15 (2012)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The theory of comedy implicit in Aristotle’s Poetics has been developed in fascinating ways by recent scholarship. This essay applies aspects of this work to Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, finding that the emotion of indignation, the plot device of the hoax, and the experience of catharsis are key structural principles in Shakespeare’s extraordinary comedy.
