- Abstract
The article analyzes the influence of the "Parable of the Talents" from the Gospel of Matthew on several plays by William Shakespeare including "Measure for Measure." Topics include a summary of the parable, other Shakespeare's plays influenced by the parable such as "Twelfth Night," "Macbeth" and "Troilus," a typological template for the plot formed by the parable in "Measure for Measure," and the influence of the parable on Duke Vincentio's opening speech in the play.
