From the Paper:

"It seems clear that Shakespeare intended Isabella to represent the high moral course that is required of mankind, despite its obvious difficulties and sacrifices. Throughout the play we see her become more desparate to save her brother while still preserving her moral code. It should also be remembered that Isabella is about to enter a convent. To compromise her moral standards at this point would be to go against everything she has believed in her entire life and would challenge the very deepest fundamentals of her nature."
