The Regents It: A Short Story

-She sated her father talked to her about the Homicide which occurred on Monday. She thought it was strange to her because her father never talked about that kind of stuff.

out of rage. Things happen that aren’t meant to and in a panic we do our best to cover

The man takes in Bass’ appearance with a neatly lifted brow. “She left on a train bound for Fayetteville yesterday.”

“I’m afraid she’s still away, I have yet to hear from her or her bodyguards.” Kragen responded.

"Veronica, I remember how Lilly 's death and that investigation affected you. Do you remember being in this office those couple of months?"

How ironic that Claudio’s quick decision to shame Hero at the alter shows his extreme lack of honor and virtue.  Rather than stand by his fiancée’s side, he chooses to believe a rumor and instantly disowns her.

During the show was entertaining they had Beyoncé, Madonna,Adele,Tina Turner ,and Cher impersonator. While they had an intermission during each performance they would ask for anyone if was their birthday or they were bachelorette. They would bring them up on stage and sit on stage ask questions. Like what’s your age, name, and if you were married or not. If you were up there for your birthday. The night I went we didn’t have any bachelorettes there so I guess would be interesting on what they would do. Also the favorite word there is bitch and I love that about the place.Also while my time there everyone was very welcoming and happy to be there.

Why do you think they were behaving in that manner? Who do you think was their intended audience?

Claudio obviously does not have any true compassion for Hero because he did not have any compassion to confront or talk to her about what he heard and seen previously. Instead, he publicly shamed her even though he was not completely certain it was her with another man in her chamber window.

Claudio's sister Isabella is dragged out of the convent to plead for him, on the assumption that her superior virtue might move Angelo's heart to pardon her brother. Does it? No. Rather, it pierces right through Angelo's cold Puritanism and sets his heart and other bits on fire. We see through this carefully controlled man into the roaring pit that he has tried so hard to conceal. He falls a victim to the very passion he is prosecuting in Claudio; in doing so, he comes to represent the conflict between good and evil in Vienna as he struggles with the knowledge that he cannot control his own desires.

The next day at the wedding Claudio tells everyone about what Hero supposedly did and embarrasses her in front of the small town. Hero then has to fake her death because of what happened. Later on in the story Claudio finds out that what Hero did was not true and immediately meets with Leonoto, Hero’s father. Claudio also finds out that she has died so he apologizes to Leonoto and says he will do whatever is done to make make-up for his actions. “I know not how to pray your patience; Yet I must speak. Choose your revenge yourself; Impose me to what penance your invention can lay upon my sin: yet sinn'd I not but in mistaking.”- Claudio. He tells Claudio to let the whole town know the truth and to marry his niece, who is almost a copy of Hero. After he does so, Claudio goes to the wedding to marry the niece to only find out that it is Hero all along.

in the past. He will tell her that he will be a great dad if she returns.

Her honor is disgraced for her “actions” and Claudio will no longer accept her as his wife because of the dishonor she has caused him.

But not all is well with the relationship of Claudio and Hero as Don John plots to split them up to ruin Claudio and his brother Don Pedro and the way he is going to make this happen is by making it look like a officer is having and affair with claudio’s finance and make him break his engagement. This breaks Claudio's heart and makes a bid scandal at the wedding saying she is no longer a virgin and will not marry a pure women. This ruins the wedding as well as Hero for she is torn about how Claudio does not trust her and tells her all these mean things and as a reciprocation of Claudio's actions, Hero's father wants her banished and killed and wants nothing to do with her but the priest convinces Leonato not to kill Hero and tell Claudio that she has died. During all of this it is discovered that it was all the fault of Don John that the wedding was put of and was at fault for the death of Hero. Once Claudio hears about this he is torn and his heart broken for letting Hero die and is at the service of Leonato for letting him down as well as hero and will do anything to in a way pay him

If Claudio is willing to be wed to evil, then he would have no qualms about his sister doing the same, or at the very least fornicating with Angelo for his “devilish mercy” (63). This possibility is bolstered by Claudio’s shift in tone and possible lack of concern for his sister’s soul when he begs “Sweet sister, let me live” (134), and attempts to justify the consequences by appealing to her good nature, calling her sin a potential virtue.
