Comment: RE: SHK 17.0585 Toby Belch: Redemptive or Not?
One question that comes to mind... is there another buffoon type
character that Shakespeare redeems? My take on Toby, from a director's
POV... he's a puffer fish and remains so until the end. The thought
occurs to me that Toby and Malvolio have something in common. They both
bloat well.
