AB  - Suggests that stories like Measure for Measure offer better examples of moral philosophy than constructed parables and thought experiments. Reading Measure for Measure in the debate about "'internal' and 'external' reasons for moral action," concludes that Shakespeare shows that character drives morality, but no character exists in a vacuum and it is the plurality of relationships, that is, community, that reshapes decisions. English summary, online.
