Characters of Loves Labours Lost 2

  • Holofernes: Holofernes seems very bombast.  I feel like I need a dictionary around him.  I also think he is a romantic.  He just seems to be a poet or something.  "This is a gift that I have, simple, simple; a foolish extravagant spirit, full of forms, figures, shapes, objects, ideas, apprehensions, motions, revolutions: these are begot in the ventricle of
    memory, nourished in the womb of pia mater, and delivered upon the mellowing of occasion"
  • Nathaniel:  Nathaniel seems to like everything. he is constantly saying excellent, marvelous, etc.  I won't name names :) but he reminds me of someone else in our class :). "Ay, sir, and very learned." "Marvellous well for the pen."
  • Dull: Dull doesn't seem to speak much except for parts were he is relaying messages.  "Sir, the duke's pleasure is, that you keep Costard safe: and you must suffer him to take no delight
    nor no penance; but a' must fast three days a week. For this damsel, I must keep her at the park: she is allowed for the day-woman. Fare you well"
  • Don Armando:  Don Armando is a definate romantic.  He falls in love and admits it.  He talks very smartly. I don't think that is the correct English but you get the point. " I will hereupon confess I am in love: and as it is base for a soldier to love, so am I in love with a
    base wench. If drawing my sword against the humour of affection would deliver me from the reprobate thought of it, I would take Desire prisoner, and ransom him to any French courtier for a new-devised courtesy. I think scorn to sigh: methinks I should outswear Cupid. Comfort, me, boy: what great men have been in love?"
  • Jaquenetta: Jaquenetta seems to speak like a lower class person, but she also has that desperate tone.  She just reminds me of a clinggy girlfriend who is always poor me. "Good Costard, go with me. Sir, God save your life!"
  • Moth:  Moth is a very excited speaker.  He lines always have exclamation points at the end.  "All hail, the richest beauties on the earth!"
