NAME_1 2. Allusion 3. Aside 4. Malapropism
Example:
NAME_1
a) “It is no mean happiness therefore, to be seated in the mean” (1.2.6-7).
b) NAME_2
c) At this point in the play, NAME_3 is talking to NAME_2 about her sadness and how she is not feeling very
well about the unfortunate situation she is in (i.e., she has to follow her father’s will). In response to
NAME_3, NAME_2 uses a NAME_1 with the word “mean”. NAME_2 believes that it is not an “insignificant” (mean)
happiness to be somewhere in the middle (i.e., the “mean”) when it comes to fortune/riches (i.e., it is
not bad at all to be not so rich, but not so poor neither; also, to be really lucky sometimes and not so
lucky at other times).
