1. overdone

   Measure for Measure is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603 or 1604 and first performed in 1604, according to available records. It was published in the First Folio of 1623. The play's plot features its protagonist, Duke Vincentio of Vienna, stepping out from public life to observe the affairs of the city under the governance of his deputy, Angelo. Angelo's harsh and ascetic public image is compared to his abhorrent personal conduct once in office, in which he exploits his power to procure a sexual favour from Isabella, whom he considers enigmatically beautiful. The tension in the play is eventually resolved through Duke Vincentio's intervention, which is considered an early use of the deus ex machina in English literature.Measure for Measure was printed as a comedy in the First Folio and continues to be classified as one. Though it shares features with other Shakespearean comedies, such as the use of wordplay and irony, and the employment of disguise and substitution as plot devices, it also features tragic elements such as executions and soliloquies, with Claudio's speech in particular having been favorably compared to tragic heroes like Prince Hamlet. Today, it is often cited as one of Shakespeare's problem plays due to its ambiguous tone.

Examples of overdone in a Sentence

1. Goldcorp Chief Executive Chuck Jeannes:

   I absolutely think it's overdone. I'm always surprised by how one day, a quarter of the market cares so much about GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings and whether there's a miss or not, the operations performed extremely well, we grew production, our cash all-in-sustaining costs were down, we generated $243 million of free cash flow, paid down debt, put money in the bank. All the things that you're supposed to do.

2. William Jackson:

   It's helpful that China is closed as the large swings had created volatility and uncertainty in other markets, but generally there is more of a positive sentiment, and perhaps a recognition that some of the sell-off we have seen over the last few weeks was overdone.

3. Emile Cardon:

4. Hikaru Sato:

5. Robert Parkes:

   We believe that market optimism on the mining sector is at a pretty low level on concerns regarding supply-side issues and the sustainability of Chinese growth. And that makes the sector sensitive to any good news coming through, we are overweight on the mining sector and believe that the pessimism is overdone especially in the current environment where the business cycle indicators are starting to point upwards. It's a cyclical sector and is exposed to a re-acceleration in the global economy.
