Question

I was given the question "Prove Sir Toby is an enjoyable fool." (from the twelfth night)...can anyone proofread my answer ??

Answer 1

Well hello there, I have been answering your question for a long time, but you ignored all my clarifications

Answer 2

anyways we shall begin, where is the paragraph or written text you will provide. Your answer of course.

Answer 3

The most important argument that proves Sir Andrew is a fool is the fact that he can’t
seem to understand half of what’s being said to him. Sir Andrew is supposedly fluent in
three or four languages; however, he does not understand the meaning of the French
word ‘pourquoi’. In fact, he is also unaware of the definition of ‘accost’ and has to ask
Sir Toby to clarify for him. When someone is fluent in three or four other languages,
you would assume that he be well-rehearsed with his native tongue first and foremost.
In addition, he’s unable to clue into hidden meanings and metaphors and cannot
distinguish when someone is insulting him. For example, when his closest friend
compares his hair to “flax on a distaff” or somewhat of a mop, he obliviously agrees to
say his hair “becomes him” and thus inadvertently insults himself. This makes him seem
infinitely foolish. I think that what makes Sir Andrew a very foolish person is the fact that
he is ignorant, and also in a sense, naïve. He is ignorant of what others say regarding
him and naïve in the fact that he is unable to defend himself when someone does make a
jest at his expense.

Answer 4

Kayso, my class only read the first act, scene three so this is all I could get from it. We were supposed to keep our answers to 10-12 sentences long (no more, no less).

Answer 5

Well it seems like you got it all. You stated why the proof is significant and your proofs relate to your topic. However, I do not remember the part where he did not understand the language. I believe there was no mention of him being fluent in 3-4 languages. But i do know he was drunk and ill-minded. He couldn't comprehend to what was being said to him, and instead of acknowledging that he continued to act foolish. I do not have any direct proofs since i do not have a copy with me, but if you feel this is a better example than being fluent, use it.
Also, the maid specifies why Olivia is not interested in Sir Andrew and she gives her own opinion why this is so. Perhaps you can check if that's in act 3.

Answer 6

Thank you (: I'm gonna add your suggestion in there too ! You were helpful :D

Answer 7

Hehe alright cool :)
Btw, if you want a copy of an essay I wrote on twelfth night, remind me next time i come online, or message me. I have a copy of the essay i wrote for a sophomore or rather helped her write the essay. She got a high 80 percent on it.

Answer 8

Nice !! I totally will next time, we're gonna be deconstructing this play with my ALP English teacher, so any inspiration is totally appreciated, watch as I get sick of this book way before the second act -.-

Answer 9
