But that her tender shame
Will
not proclaim against her maiden loss,
How
might she tongue me! Yet reason dares her no;
-Angelo
Measure For Measure Act IV, Scene iv, Line 26
Okay, I’ll give you some context
today. Angelo was left in charge of the town whilst the Duke left for parts
unknown. During that time Angelo has used his position to force Isabella to
have sex with him. Now the Duke is returning, and Angelo is worrying that
Isabella will rat on him. He concludes that she won’t, that reason dares
her no. Is he right? I guess you’ll have to read the rest of the play
to find out.
Well, what do you think, would we allow Angelo to sit on this bench? I rather think not. I think, at best, we might allow him to sit on the Group W bench. That's about it.
