LORD ANGELO
HYPOCRITE
Strict Enforcement of Law vs Personal Transgressions:
● Angelo advocates for a harsh, unforgiving application of
the law, as seen when he argues against leniency for
Claudio:
"We must not make a scarecrow of the law
...

...
● However, he hypocritically abandons these principles
when he propositions Isabella, showing he is willing to
break the moral codes he enforces on others
...

...
● His later actions reveal the falsity of this self-perception,
as he succumbs to lust and desires, contradicting the

and my place i’ the state, Will so your accusation

treasures of your body to this supposed, or else to let him
suffer" (2

96-97)

In Measure for Measure, Shakespeare presents hypocrisy as
a pervasive force in Vienna’s society, primarily driven by
flawed authority figures and the complex nature of human
morality
...
His
reluctance to reveal Claudio’s fate to Isabella also points to
self-serving motives
...
His fall from
moral absolutism when he succumbs to desire reflects the
tension between personal ethics and the allure of power

understanding of human frailty
