Critic name Viewpoint of Comments
critic from me
Andrew Early audiences focused
on Malvolio and his
Shouler humiliation

Digges Refers to Malvolio as a
“cross garter’d gull”
Andrew Reveals that gulls were
common characters in
Shouler Shakesperean plays.
First citation in 1594
amongst Shakesperean
contemporary.
Andrew According to George
Puttenham’s distinction
Shouler between old and new
comedy – Shakespeare is
writing new comedy as it
is ‘civil and pleasant -
contrasting to ‘sharp and
bitter’

Feste: “actors will strive
to please you everyday”
Andrew Gulls are ‘deluded by
their vanity’ and
Shouler consequently fell for the
tricks set by others.
Andrew Gull often used
frequently with comic
Shouler tone and purpose.

Andrew Quotation from text:
Maria: gull Malvolio into
This is the objectification
of Malvolio for
Shouler a nay word and make entertainment. Elicits
him a common both humour and
recreation empathy (more so from
a modern POV)
“she begins by focusing
on his humiliation”

“ a ‘nayword’ suggests
making his name a
byword for stupidity”
Andrew First scene pf gulling plot
– tone is clearly satirical.
Could argue that a
modern audience would
Shouler look upon this in favour
of Malvolio. Maria
desires to cause
suffering so a
modern/Marxist
audience would
