I have a presentation at university coming up about Measure for Measure. I am honestly a little overwhelmed because I've never really read Shakespeare before apart from maybe watching a performance of Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Dights Dream, so there is definitely a steep learning curve happening at the moment.
My professor wants me to focus on the genre debate surrounding this play and on character constellations as we have another presentation the week after that will focus on politics and performance and the historical significance of the play.
She also suggested to include some group work and this is where I need help. My idea was to find two scenes, one that fits more into the drama category and one that fits more into the comedy category and then have the group analyze both scenes to really show how Measure for Measure has elements from both genres. Now I am struggling to decide which scenes could work here. Do you have suggestions? I would be very grateful!
