Measure for Measure
by William Shakespeare
Claudio expresses his visceral and overwhelming terror of death to his sister, Isabella. He vividly imagines the physical decay of the body and the potential spiritual torments of the afterlife, concluding that even the most miserable life is preferable to the unknown horrors of the grave.
Angelo, acting as the deputy of Vienna, reveals his corrupt nature to Isabella. He offers to spare her brother Claudio's life only if she agrees to sleep with him, confidently asserting that his high reputation will protect him from any accusations she might make.
