Through it he alters the identity of an individual frequently female character, though not always and uses this disguise to heighten irony, develop theme, and enhance subtle comic innuendo.
In As You Like It, Shakespeare develops specific ironies where the dialogue takes on new meaning when the true identity of the speaker or hearer is placed over the dialogue. Gunning, Tom.

The Mass Ornament. Edited and translated by Tom Levin. Majumdar, Neepa. Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, Malagi, R. Delhi: Dorling Kindersley, Do you consider this a cop-out in the search for identity?
Does it undermine all of the personal struggles S. Antipholus has had up to this point? What are the most important factors in how characters identify themselves in this play? Do we get the sense that everyone besides S. Antipholus is sure of their personal identities? Does anyone question who they are as a result of all the confusion surrounding identity?
Are the women in the play realistic characters? Love, deception, matters of out witting one another and jealousy are components that make up the back bone to a comedy. Unlike his earlier comedies, Shakespeare looks at the concept of love and themes such as insanity and madness of love, which were not parts of the conv From a dramatic viewpoint, I think that the two scenes analysed here are pivotal to the play and generally seem to achieve their objectives well.
As well as identifying the main theme of the play of how complications of love often arise from disguises, which may hide one's true intentions, these scenes also provide the means of how these difficulties get resolved in the play. Although the atmosphere in the scenes is quite melancholic, the audience can clearly sense the potential for comedy. The title 'Twelfth Night' perhaps also relates to this, as there would have been some sorrow as it was the last day of the Christmas festivities.
Even phrases that appear so have always a complex meter behind them and, in Hamlet especially, it seems that every word is chosen individually to serve a particular purpose.
Despite being almost four hundred years old, Shakespeare is considered the landmark in English literature as the dawning of the modern age of drama. Previously, drama such as the medieval morality plays was used to demonstrate moral stances, but Shakespeare focused on investigating the individual in society.
The rise of eponymous drama illustrates the sudden power of the person in literature. The fool in King Lear is an example of Shakespeare using the fool as a voice to bridge the gap between the audience and the stage.
The "all-licensed fool" makes many of his quips at the expense of the king. Without the help of Friar Lawrence none of this would have been possible. However from the disastrous finish of the play the question of whether Friar Lawrence's intentions were good or evil arises.
At first glance Friar Lawrence's intentions of helping Juliet and Romeo marry are good. The comment perhaps this marriage will reunite the families? In all of Shakespeare's play there is a clear Protagonist, whether they are naive or mature, a comic relief character who breaks the tragedy slightly; and finally an Antagonist.
