Document Summary
The other men, while immature, still have this real grasp of language/intelligence. Armardo doesn"t master language and this is why he is made fun of. Armardo always falls into prose, his inferiority elevates the other men. Line 87: if she be made of white and red, he faults will never be known . If she"s beautiful, she"s probably being naughty, white in the face and blushing. All about sexual interest, word play, foreplay. Shooter = suitor, hunting is about hunting a prey, erotic pursuit. Rosaline suggests boyet has a small penis (horns symbol for cuckold) The women are competing with boyet, a competition of mutuality with man. Women aren"t as overly romantic, play with words very well. Men write romantic poems, women make dirty jokes, neither really comprehends sex and love. P. 374: light and dark, references to skin tone, beauty. Light = playful but also potentially sexually frivolous. Rosaline saying that catherine has sex in the dark .
