    The Fool and the Drunk The fool is a frequent character type in the work of William Shakespeare.

Trinculo and Stefano provide a comic fool to the other pairs of higher social and powerful standing, such as Prospero and Alonso.…

    Arrogant, unpleasant, and stately, Malvolio from Twelfth Night fills the role of a mean-spirited antagonist and acts as a fool to the other characters. Similar to some of the other characters in the story, Malvolio’s role in life does not match his true nature; Malvolio possesses the demeanor and nature of the aristocrat. One can find evidence in his condescending rhetoric as seen when he describes Feste as “ a barren rascal ” with “ no more brain than a stone”(I.v.9-11). In addition, his moment…

This is exemplified in the stories of Gimpel, in “Gimpel the Fool” by Isaac Bashevis Singer, and Jack, in The Importance of Being Earnest: A Trivial Comedy for Serious People by Oscar Wilde. An orphan dubbed “the Fool,” Gimpel is the target of his town’s (shtetl’s) repeated…

The radical nature of Oedipus’s threefold deed, the killing of his father, the solving of the sphinx’s riddle, and the union with his mother, might make Oedipus a sinner, but it might also make him a god. The Thebans, however, are not prepared to take on the…

    From my point of view I disagree with Callarman’s opinion on Chris McCandless about how he was fool and an arrogant fool. The reason for my disagreement is because I believed Chris had reason for his “journey of solitude.” I have also gathered concrete details that defends my statement for his behavior. It is our judgement and ideals created by society that caused people like McCandless to drift away. He should not be portrayed as a madman without a proper reason or fact. One of the reason I…
