Isabella – I would definitely throw away my body, just as long I could keep my soul!
Angelo – I would not want your soul. How we sin matters more than how many times we
sin.
Isabella- What do you mean by that?
Angelo – I will tell you from the highest authority which is me that I can change any of
my decisions. I can save your brothers life, but don’t you think sin can be
used as charity to save him? It will not be seen as a sin but a good deed.
Isabella – I do not see it as sin but all charity. Please do it
Angelo – I am pleased that you may do it. But your sin will be countered by your charity.
Isabella – Then I will beg for his life with sin, and I will erase my sin by prayers.
Angelo – I must tell you that there is no other way to save his life. The only way is that
you have been seen in a certain light by the judge and this recognition may be able to fetch you his life from the will of the law. There is no way on this earth that he would usually be saved, but my authority will fetch his live if you lay down the purity of your body, or let him meet his penalty.
Isabella –As much as I care for my dear brother, I will not lead my body to a death of shame.
Angelo – Your brother will have to die then.
Isabella – I will not take this cheaper way, as I will not replace my brother’s dead body
With my dead soul.
Angelo – You are selfish, why are you then so concerned about your brothers death if
you are letting him die due to your mere loss of chastity.
Isabella – Giving someone their life back and blackmail are two different things. I am not
selfish I will not give into foul liberation.
Angelo - Now you choose to make the law a criminal, and you would rather want your
brother to be let off as a present and not an earned payment.
Isabella- I will not lose my love in life for something that I love
Angelo- We are all flawed and morally wrong in different ways, such as how your
brother shows to be.
Isabella- Show mercy upon my brother for any sin he may have committed, and give
mercy if not for the goodness in your heart then give it for the weakness that he posses along with all men
Angelo- Women are also morally wrong!
Isabella- Women are soft and innocent; they will break if they are tormented to undesired
sex. Women are fragile and their soul can be smashed easily by men.
Angelo- If you insist on remaining a virgin you are no women as you are not indulging
in the very action that creates life. You are restraining yourself to an empty vessel.
Isabella- Many do not voice my opinion as mine is one of religion and law. Many do not
see that religion and law should be placed against one another and measured and
balanced as I believe that law cannot be good if it is not influenced by religion.
Angelo – Enough of this, I must tell you that I do love you
Isabella- My brother loved Juliet yet he was still punished for a invisible sin.
Angelo – He shall live if you show me love
Isabella- I tell you now Lord Angelo that if you do not pardon my brother I will ensure
that the whole world will be informed of your hypocrisy.
Angelo- I hold the power over Venice, nobody will believe or try to believe you. If you
attempt this I shall ensure that your reputation will be destroyed and you yourself
will be silenced. Tell me tomorrow what conclusion you have decided to. Think
clearly on your answer as remember I can prove to be foul against your brother.
EXIT ANGELO
Isabella- He is right; no one will believe what I say. The law has been newly born and
its wrath is clasped around the people. No one shall dare challenge this recently
formed authority. My brother will understand as he would not let his sister’s
purity be gone in exchange for his own vessel. I will him of what Angelo is said and he will understand the situation and prepare himself into the journey to death.
EXIT ISABELLA
