Characters of Loves Labours Lost

  I would like to start of saying the decorum of all the characters is very bombast. 
  •    The King: The King is very wise it seems.  He is very calm in his speech and seems to still have power in his words.  "Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives, Live register'd upon our brazen tombs And then grace us in the disgrace of death"
  •    Berwone: I could not find anyone in the version by this name but I think maybe they just spelled it Biron.  He seems to whine a lot.  His words are easier to understand in the beggining.  I charcterize him as a whinner though.  "Why, all delights are vain; but that most vain,
    Which with pain purchased doth inherit pain"
  •    Princess: The princess is very witty and she is not afraid which I admire.  She seems to be quite clever also.  "'Fair' I give you back again; and 'welcome' I have not yet: the roof of this court is too high to be yours; and welcome to the wide fields too base to be mine"
  •    Rosaline:  Rosaline seems to have a quick wit also.  She catches the eye of Biron as soon as she arrives and then is able to put him in his place right away. "'Tis 'long of you that spur me with such questions"
  •    Costard:  Costard seems quite dull and sexist.  I cannot blame him too much on the sexist role due to the fact that everyone in that time period sort of is.  I still think he is quite dull and he is not very good at getting himself out of situations.  "I was taken with none, sir: I was taken with a damsel. This was no damsmaid will serve my turnel, neither, sir; she was a virgin If it were, I deny her virginity: I was taken with a maid This , sir"
  •     Boyet:  Boyet seems to only want to please the Princess.  He is a kiss-up or brown noser.  "Proud of employment, willingly I go"
