Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the Duke who leaves the town for a while?

Answer: Vincentio

In the play he is never referred to as Vincentio, but the character list at the beginning cites him as "Duke Vincentio".
2. What does the Duke disguise himself as?

Answer: Friar

He disguises himself as a friar so that he can watch the events in his town unfold before him, and see if his deputy is taking care of Vienna well.
3. Isabella is to marry whom, in the end?

Answer: Duke

It has been debated for a long time by critics whether she actually wanted to marry him or not, as she seemed so set on becoming a nun during the play.
4. Who is Juliet engaged to?

Answer: Claudio

Juliet is pregnant with Claudio's child, which is why Claudio is in jail.
5. Lucio commits what crime?

Answer: slander

He is the only character that ends up dying, (maybe - there is some controversy over this). This is why "Measure for Measure" is thought of as one of Shakespeare's problem plays, because it combines tragedy and comedy.
6. Who does Mariana love?

Answer: Angelo

She loved him even though he left her when she had no dowry!
7. Claudio is in jail because he got his girlfriend pregnant.

Answer: True

He was very upset by the fact that he was punished for committing a crime that many others had done as well.
8. Where is this play set?

Answer: Vienna

"Mortality and mercy in Vienna/Live in thy tongue and heart." Act 1, Scene 1, lines 44-45.
9. The other prisoner mentioned in the play is Barnadine.

Answer: True

He is one of the more comical characters in the play.
10. Angelo asks Isabella to do what for him if he frees Claudio?

Answer: sleep with him

She is shocked and appalled, and totally disagrees.
