speaks in the beginning is a friend who epitomizes
the world which the lovers have renounced. A world

with a comedy like Measure for Measure or a
tragedy like Titus Andronicus. Often we find that
many of Shakespeare's plays do not fit into their
ascribed categories, but is it the plays that dont
fit the categories, or the reverse? Are the
general groupings of ...
