The play explores themes of justice, morality, and the complex interplay between authority and individual desires, centering on the characters of Claudio, a young nobleman sentenced to death, and his sister Isabella, who seeks to save him from execution. The beginning of the play introduces the audience to the Duke of Vienna, who decides to delegate his power to Angelo while he disguises himself as a common friar. With the Duke absent, Angelo enforces strict laws that have long been dormant, resulting in Claudio's arrest for getting his fiancée, Juliet, pregnant before marriage. Isabella learns of her brother’s dire situation and is determined to plead for his life, only to discover that Angelo demands her virginity in exchange for her brother's release. The opening sets up a complicated web of moral dilemmas and urgent conflicts that promise to unravel in the ensuing acts. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
