Missing Person

THE DUKE
motivation: evaluate the trustworthiness of his underlings and the success of his rule
obstacles: deception, brown-nosing from underlings
what is he willing to do?: go incognito, deceive his subjects, lie
why would he do this?: he knows that that is the only way to get a subjective view of his government
avowed (why he says he does things) v. true (why he actually does things):

ANGELO
motivation: sex, unchallenged power
obstacles: the duke, keeping up appearances of propriety
what?: fail the duke, deceive, use sex as a weapon, lie, coerce
why?: he has the power, he must keep up appearances, he thinks the duke will never know
avowed v. true: he says he rules for virtue’s sake but he is really hungry for power

CLAUDIO
motivation: love of Juliet/Isabella, survival
obstacles: the law, propriety
what?: sacrifice Isabella’s virginity, die
why?: he is given no other choice (he must weigh the loves of Juliet and Isabella)
avowed v. true:

ISABELLA
motivation: love of Claudio, piety
obstacles: Angelo, the law, propriety
what?: lie, challenge Angelo, deceive, allow Claudio to die rather than her go to hell
why?: piety, value of god’s law over humans’
avowed v. true:

I’m unsure about the avowed versus true actions, or at least of how to articulate them.  Could someone fill those in by any chance, or give me some ideas?  Thanks.
