In the very early 1600s, Shakespeare began writing plays that have proved troubling for audiences. ""Measure for Measure"", ""All's Well That Ends Well"", and ""Troilus and Cressida"" came to be known as the ""the problem plays"". This book argues that the key to understanding these complicated works is discovering their prominent rhetorical features.
