"What, my young master, O my gentle master,
O my sweet master, O you memory
Of old Sir Rowland! Why, what make you here?
Why are you virtuous? Why do people love you?
And wherefore are you gentle, strong, and valiant?" (page 20)
I like the point you made about the plethora ( hate that word) of pointless additions to the play. Why does Adam seem to fanatically praise Orlando? It seems a bit excessive. Why does Oliver hate his brother? Sharksphere(lol) could intentionally act lazy. You said that he wrote this play before he started his major tragedies. Comedy's, I infer were so popular, and thus trite. Perhaps sharksphere is expressing his contempt for comedies by a lack of effort. The title then make since. I imagined a crowd of people begging frantically for a comedy and sharksphere hurriedly (not sure if that's a word) scribbling done a story, and then angrily handing it to them and saying in "here take it, as you like it."
