Thomas Pendleton:

Or most others, I fancy.

Whoops!  I see that in my attempt to clarify things about Cymbeline vs.
Imogen, I have made a different error...of course it's Fidele and not
Cloten that she turns herself into.

I don't know where my head was.  Perhaps off with Cloten's missing one
somewhere...

Sorry for any further confusion!

Comment:        RE: SHK 15.1226 Correlating Scenes

There is an interesting dramaturgical parallel between the serenades
sung at the windows of Sylvia in Two Gents, and of Innogen in Cymbeline
- could raise interesting questions about the use of music, since both
songs are (presumably) well sung, to settings of some sophistication
(almost certainly the case for the latter for which a setting by Robert
Johnson survives) - and yet are sung by, or in the interests of
duplicitous, even evil men. There are assumptions about music and gender
which inform these performances, assumptions that the reaction of the
two women subvert.
