Social class Flashcards
SOCIAL CLASS: This highlights the idea that Angelo is treating animals with more respect than a human. (Comparison of Killing a fowl only in a specific time when hes killing a man for a tiny crime)
SOCIAL CLASS: “Spare him, spare him! Even for our kitchens we kill the fowl of season.” - Isabella
SOCIAL CLASS: This demonstrates the power of rhetoric and education. The word breed has connotations of sex, foreshadowing Angelos attraction to Isabella.
SOCIAL CLASS: “She speaks, and ‘tis such sense that my sense breeds with it.” - Angelo
SOCIAL CLASS: The duke is aware of the consequences of threat not being put into action. As fear is administration of the law, if the law is not feared, those of lower class will rise against authority.
SOCIAL CLASS: “The baby beats the nurse” - The Duke
SOCIAL CLASS: Isabella here attacks the pride of Angelo, and Viennan authority itself. She humanises Angelo, demonstrating the power of her rhetoric.
SOCIAL CLASS: “But man, proud man, dressed in a little brief authority” - Isabella
