Measure for Measure, and works by Marston, Middleton, and Sharpham, all share the common plot motif of a disguised ruler spying on his subjects and are generally grouped together as Jacobean commentary. This study traces the motif s development in a variety of genres including European tragicomedy and medieval balladry, and demonstrates the unique disposition of each play, identifying Henry V as an important example of a disguised ruler play.
