From the conversation between Mistress Overdone and a couple
of gentlemen, we learned that Claudio has been arrested under Angelo’s orders
on a charge of having having made a girl, Juliet, pregnant without having first
marred her. Claudio has been sentenced to death according to the law for having
committed this immortal deed. Later in this scene, Claudio himself tells a
friend, Lucio, the circumstances in which he was arrested and sentenced to death.
He also asks Lucio to inform his sister Isabella about the sentence of death
against him and to request Isabella to Meet Angelo and try to have him pardoned
by Angelo (who is now ruling the country as the Duke’s deputy).
