B. the device of mistaken identity.
C. revealing great heroes as common fools.
D. an unusual use of Middle English.
Answer: B. the device of mistaken identity.
Explanation: 7.2 in Shakespeare’s work bottom section.
In his comedies, Shakespeare often employs two interesting devices:
* Mistaken identity. Either characters aren’t what they seem to be (appearing in disguise), or they mistake the identity of others (due to a spell, for example, as you’ll see in A Midsummer Night’s Dream).
* Fool or clown. This character may seem silly or mischievous, but he’s often wiser than some of the more respectable characters in the play.
I’m martyr to a motion not my own;
What’s freedom for? To know eternity.
I swear she cast a shadow white as stone.
But who would count eternity in days?
These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:
(I measure time by how a body sways).
