If it isn't, all I can say is the coincidence in the name and the date when she was with child, is remarkable.<br />As for Ragozine and Penry, I have always find that very intriguing. Ragozine is a common criminal (rogue-assasin) while Penry was not. Ragozin is executed at the last minute to provide a head instead of Bernardine. I suspect Bernardine may be Penry, whose corpse could not be used for some reason. However, it's all conjecture.Isabel Gortázarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942147318185235475.post-38833392668650086222009-05-20T10:55:04.376-04:002009-05-20T10:55:04.376-04:00Would Marlowe base the character of a whore on his...Would Marlowe base the character of a whore on his own mother? That seems to be highly insulting. what I find more interesting in the back story of Measure for Measure is the potential parallel between Ragozine and Penry.Dave Herberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13052155165127380447noreply@blogger.com
