We studied the first scenes of Act II during today's session. Again, I noted motifs that Shakespeare later incorporated into his tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. We further discussed how the "disorder" in a comedy is not cosmic but lighthearted as the audience is in on the joke. Last, I noted certain relevant aspects of Elizabethan culture that appear in the play such as the popularity of the masked ball and the almost obsession with adultery in marriage.
