CHARACTERS:

Holofernes - Speaks very intelligently, seems highly educated. Paints pictures with his words and is very descriptive. "The deer was, as you know, sanguis, in blood: ripe as the pomewater, who know hangeth like a jewel in the ear of caelo, the sky, the welkin, the heaven; and anon falleth like a crab on the face of terra,  the soil, the land, the earth."

Nathaniel - Seems as intelligent as Holofernes. Speaks with Holofornes as if they are superior to Dull. "Sir, he hath never fed of the danties that are bred in a book; he hath not eat paper, as it were; he hath not drunk ink: his intellect is not replenished; he is only an animal, only sensible in the duller parts."

Dull - True to his name, he seems not too bright. He doesnt speak stupidly though, just bluntly. "I said the deer was not a haud credo; twas a pricket."

Don Armado - Seems to try to be very romantic, uptight and pompous with his speech. "By my sweet soul, I mean setting thee at liberty, enfreedoming thy person; thou wert immured, restrained, captivated, bound."

Jacquenetta - She doesnt seem very intelligent, she seems somewhat promiscuous. She doesnt seem to know how to read. "Good master Parson, be so good as read me this letter: it was given me by Costard, and sent me from Don Armado: I beseech you, read it."

Moth - Seems somewhat intelligent, somewhat of the voice of reason among the group. "...Now will I begin your moral, and do you follow with my l'envoy. The fox, the ape, and the humble-bee, were still at odds being but three."
