Character definition
Although Shakesphere did not leave a subscript for Flute, there are many characteristics left to be implied. Flute is considered to be soft-spoken and shy. Thisbe, the character Flute plays in the play within the play, is a beautiful woman. Peter Quince choses this character for him as he has a very high voice. Flute has a hard time playing a woman, and tries desperatly to get another role. Yet Peter Quince is stubborn and refuses to let him receive another role. In the end, Flute ends up playing Thisbe very well; in fact, he's more outgoing as Thisbe than he'd ever be as himself, posing for a good amount of laughter. Flute is a flat, dynamic character.Characters in A Midsummer Night's Dream | |
