Act 2, Scene 1


 

Escalus enters and tells Angelo he is being too harsh on Claudio.� Angelo, however, thinks his actions are fair.� He then calls the Provost and tells him to have Claudio executed by the next morning.� A constable, Elbow, enters with Pompey and Froth wanting them to be punished.� Pompey starts to tell his tale on how they are innocent.� It is taking so long however, that Angelo gets bored, and leaves the meeting out of punishments to Escalus.� Escalus listens to their stories but sends them away with threats, and no punishment.� After everyone but he and the justice had left, he then expresses his sorrow at the impending death of Claudio.
