Paper Summary:
This paper discusses the work of William Shakespeare, focusing primarily on one of his trademarks, the use of humour and wit. From Falstaff to Beatrice, Shakespeare's wittiest characters set the bar for scathing humor that is still unmatched to this day. The paper then discusses one of Shakespeare's most humorous plays, 'As You Like It', which contains perhaps two of his wittiest characters, Rosalind and Touchstone. While Rosalind is the heroine and the focus of the play, and one of Shakespeare's most charming creations, Touchstone, the jaded and cynical clown, is perhaps the wittiest character in the play.More papers on Shakespeare's Touchstone:
