Angelo Ruggiero

Intro On March 12, 1945 in Brooklyn, New York, Salvatore Gravano was born to Giorlando and Caterina Gravano. As a child he frequently walked with his father and would encounter gangsters on the streets. Giorlando, his father, would cross the street when encountering such gangsters, noticing that this had become a routine Sammy asked his father to identify the people. According to Biography his father replied “they are bad people.” At the age of ten Sammy’s bicycle was stolen and with the help of

(through characters like, Pompey, Mistress Overdone, and Barnadine).  Shakespeare uses Lord Angelo in Measure for Measure to show that corruption is innate within mankind whilst Angelo is a symbolism for pharisaical fanaticism in the play.     It's interesting to note that Lord Angelo's name evokes an image of purity and

Angelo in Measure for Measure       Within Measure for Measure, the character of Angelo can be seen as a case study of will over moral nature. Angelo, a deputy, is given the Dukes authority to act in his behalf while the Duke is away. The story unfolds as Angelo uses the agency he's been given in ways that many men in authoritative positions have done. It is interesting to follow his line of thought and to realize that this is a man who is not unlike many others. The main conflict between Isabella

another’s character by occasioning temptation—who experiments with others while pretending to be sacrosanct—is presumptuous. And pride—the very medieval/Augustinian "pride of life"—is the Duke’s failing in arrogating to himself the power to tempt Angelo. Vincentio has appeared to some as erring and inconsistent, and to others as a deific incarnation for the same reason: the

At the outset, we find the Duke transferring his power and authority to Angelo. He lends to Angelo his own terror and dresses Angelo with his love, “giving his deputation all the organs of his own power”. He says that from now on “mortality and mercy” in Vienna would live in Angelo’s tongue and heart. The Duke motive in appointing Angelo to function in his stead is, as he tells Friar Thomas, to rid the country of the evils which have taken strong roots and which, he thinks, he himself cannot eradicate

“Lil?” Angela called, setting the groceries down on the kitchen counter. The television was on and playing an old episode of Twin Peaks, Lillian’s favorite show. Lillian, however, wasn’t in there watching it. Angela put the small amount of groceries away before calling out again. “Lillian! I’m home!” Her voice echoed through the house and empty halls. The only sound was the faint murmur of Agent Dale Cooper asking for a damn fine cup of coffee. The bathroom turned up empty. Angela went up to Lillian’s

another exception to the rule that female characters can't be prominent. For it involves a soon-to-be nun convent, Isabella, and if she should forgo her virginity. This central conflict starts when the Duke of Vienna steps down. Thus, he appoints Angelo to be the new leader. And his first act as is to outlaw all sexual activity in the city. Now, he does so under a law that the Duke hadn't enforced in almost two decades. So the first perpetrator is Claudio, who impregnated his lover, Juliet. Now,

I woke up early with a start. Was I Sarah or Gwen? Frantically, like a flustered maiden rushing to her window to see if her lover returned home, I wrapped my comforter around myself and raced to the mirror. Thank goodness! I was still Gwen. Yes! Yes! A smile stretched across my pretty dainty face, I was eagerly excited at the prospect that the day would hold. Like a clumsy lunatic, I scrambled to my closet. Today I was determined to be cute, as cute as was possible! Bingo! Tight summer dress, I would

my apartment, or meeting, Angelo. “Walk to the edge,” Angelo commands. “Go on, walk to the edge.” I'm released from his gaze as he steps out of my view, giving me the opportunity to survey my surroundings. At the water's edge, boats bob over waves that grow stronger, crashing against the wall and soaking the ground. A few buildings kiss the skyline, too far for anyone to capture a glimpse of us. The fierce sky looms overhead with dark grey clouds. Alice's was right, Angelo plans to kill me, to dump
