-The Duke grants Angelo temporary leadership of Vienna.
-Claudio is taken to prison for having sexual involvement outside of mariage.
-Claudio asks Lucio to find his sister Isabella, so Isabella can appeal for him on Claudio’s behalf.

-Isabella agrees to leave the monastery to help Claudio.
-Isabella goes to Angelo to beg for forgiveness. Mentions that she wishes to bribe him.
-Angelo realizes he has desire for Isabella. Tells Isabella to return the next day.
-Angelo makes his proposal to Isabella-to have sexual relations with him to save Claudio’s life.
