Read the full text of Measure for Measure Act 4 Scene 6 with a side-by-side translation HERE.
- On a street near the gate to Vienna, we catch Mariana and Isabella in mid-conversation about the plan to punk Angelo.
- Isabella reveals that the Friar (who is really the Duke) has advised her to accuse Angelo of sleeping with her. Even though she knows it's a lie (Angelo really slept with Mariana without knowing it), she's willing to go along with the scheme.
- We also learn that Isabella has been told she shouldn't worry if the Friar pretends like he's not on her side. It's all part of the plan.
- Friar Peter announces that the women should get ready because the Duke is coming.
