Act 1 Scene 2
During this scene Claudio is to be walked through the streets in his gyves so hat the public can see what happens when you disobey the law.
My scene objective is: To humiliate Claudio
However, I would say that my psychological objective would be the opposite of this. Perhaps: To help.
This is because despite being a member of the law, the Provost actually sympathises Claudio's situation as there's never been such a serious sentence for such a miniscule crime before.
In this scene, the Provost has the highest power and so is in control throughout.
Setting: streets
Act 2 Scene 2
During this scene the Provost tries to persuade Angelo from confirming Claudio's execution without directly stating it.
Scene Objective: To persuade
The Provost is sly in this scene but has to be respectful and careful because despite having to obey Angelo, they don't know him as well as they know the Duke. Angelo's 'rash' decisions could be put on the Provost if they intervene too much.
Setting: Office
Act 2 Scene 3
This scene shows the Provost meeting the undercover Duke.
My scene objective is: To state because the Provost is unaware that the person they're talking to is someone that has a greater status then themselves. There is also a quality of to inform when the Provost explains the mishap of Claudio to him.
Setting: streets
Act 3 Scene 1
During this scene, Claudio and the undercover Duke discuss his dilemma while the Provost sort of guards Claudio in the prison.
Scene objective: To watch Claudio and to invite Isabella when she come to visit him later on in the scene.
Setting: The prison
Act 3 Scene 2
During this scene we carry on Mistress Overdone whom we've arrested.
Scene Objective: To restrain Mistress Overdone and To help Esculus when she asks for it.
Setting: A street
Scene 4 Act 2
This scene includes the Provost telling Pompey that he needs to help the executioner because they're short of staff. However Pompey is against this idea at first and so the Provost's scene objective is: to persuade until she gets fed up and changes it to make him do as she says. In order to do this, there are many other objectives among the text such as to blackmail.
Later in the scene, Claudio enters and the warrant for his death is revealed and so the objective changes to sympathise for his inevitable demise.
Further on in the scene the disguised Duke enters and objectives such as to answer and to inform arise when the discussion of Barnadine arises
Setting: A room in the prison
Act 4 Scene 3
During this scene the Provost invests more of themselves into helping The disguised Duke come up with a plan to preserve Claudio's life. The Provost is kind hearted and so they don't fine it hard to help and to assist him. However when the possibility of the Provost's life being put on the line the Provost begins to question, to doubt and to enquire.
Setting:Another room in the prison
Act 5 Scene 1
This is the scene in which the truth is revealed and the Provost plays a key role in unravelling the ending. But when spoken to the Provost is told that they have let the law down and so lose their jobs but manage to persuade the revealed Duke to not fire them as they hadn't done anything wrong. This is where it was revealed that the Provosts had kept Claudio alive and instead killed a pirate that was already dead which of course the revealed Duke knew that the unrevealed Duke (himself) knew.
Setting: The city gate
