Measure for Measure: 'We are all frail.'

I must keep this line in mind. Funny while Angelo and Isabella were quibbling away at the blocking of Act II, Sc 4, I couldn't stop thinking of how the line really meant.

WOMEN ARE FRAIL. FULL STOP.

It echoes Hamlet: 'Frailty, thy name is Woman.' Shakespeare had just written and staged _Hamlet_ a few years before moving to Silver Street where, in 1604, he wrote _Measure for Measure_.

Angelo later says, 'Nay, women are frail, too.' We'll see about that.
