1. Why is Viola disguised as a man?
2. FOOL- "Two faults, madonna, that drink and good counsel will
amend. For give the dry fool drink, then is the fool not dry.
Bid the dishonest man mend himself. If he mend, he is no
longer dishonest. If he cannot, let the botcher mend him.
Anything that’s mended is but patched. Virtue that
transgresses is but patched with sin, and sin that amends
is but patched with virtue. If that this simple syllogism will
serve, so. If it will not, what remedy? As there is no
true cuckold but calamity, so beauty’s a flower. The lady
bade take away the fool. Therefore, I say again, take
her away." (I.v.40-51) What does this quote mean?
