About This Novel
[Shakespeare Classics, Relive the Charm of Drama] Duke Vincentio of Vienna felt that the law was lax and the world was declining, so he decided to leave temporarily and appointed Angelou, who was known for his "moral rigor", to act as governor. Angelou reinstated a strict law as soon as he took office: if an unmarried man has sex, the man will be sentenced to death. The young gentleman Claudio will be sentenced to death for this. His sister Isabella, a chaste woman who is about to become a nun, pleads with Angelo for her brother. However, Angelou put forward an extremely dirty condition - she could use her chastity in exchange for her brother's life. Isabella sternly refused in pain, and the Duke, disguised as a "friar", walked between the cell and the streets and had already seen everything. How can they fulfill Angelou's request and rescue Claudio without harming Isabella? A clever trick emerges...
