The Lovely Cast Of LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST... Part Deux

                       "I'm bored... push the swing a little more, will you Berowne?"


   For my second edition, I will be explaining the rest of the cast from Acts III - IV and their particular decorum's:
Holofernes- A highly intelligent and witty school teacher for the "Academe."  He uses Latin like-synonyms in his language.  Holofernes is also a comedy relief in this story.
Armado:
[To Moth] Chirrah!
Holofernes:
Quare chirrah, not sirrah?
Armado:
Men of peace, well encount'red.
Holofernes:
Most military sir, salutation.
Moth:
[Aside to Costard] They have been at a great feast of languages,
and stol'n the scraps.
Costard:
O, they have liv'd long on the alms-basket of words.
(Act III, Scene II)
Nathaniel- A.K.A "Sir Nathaniel" is a man of god or the cloth in this play.  Like Holofernes, he is bilingual in Spainsh (Espanol) and Latin. He is also a funny man.  
Dull- Is the village constable.  Dull gives free rides to the characters and is another humorous addition to the play. 
'Tis true indeed; the collusion holds in the exchange." (Act VI, Scene III)
Don Armado- An egotistical, vain, rich-boy Don who is infatuated with the gorgeous Jacquenetta.  However, that darn Costard stands in the way...   He talks like a d- bag... "The words of Mercury are harsh after the songs of Apollo. You that way: we this way." (Act IV, Scene III)
Jacquenetta- The biggest tease and ho-fo-sho in this play who catches the affections of both Costard and Armado. 
"With that face?" (Act I, Scene II) 
 Moth- The annoying page to Don Armado.  Is mischievous and conniving. 
"A message well sympathized; a horse to be ambassador
for an ass."
"Very reverend sport, truly; and done in the testimony
of a good conscience."
(Act III, Scene II)  (It happened again!!!! ARGGGGHHHHH!!! *bashes head against computer screen...*)
