Show transcript
Arguably, Puck is first presented as an irreverent character.
Shakespeare develops Puck’s character by contrasting his initial presentation to his interactions with Oberon.
Puck’s language when he speaks to Oberon suggests he respects the hierarchy.
Puck’s language when he first meets the Rude Mechanicals suggests he has contempt for them as low status characters.
