"Always the dullness of the fool is the whetstone of the wits." (1.2.59)
This "comedy" isn't very funny at all, so I was thinking maybe Shakespeare had a weird sense of humor. Mass marriages just aren't very funny. Cross dressing doesn't make me laugh. Sexual innuendos lose their hilarity after age thirteen. This is not how I like it, Shakespeare. I feel like this play is only a comedy because it's technically not a tragedy and it had to be something. In the absence of death, everything is funny I suppose. It's a sick world out there. I was just hoping for some good, clean old time humor, but I'm coming to learn that there isn't such a thing.
