Talk:Egeus

Is the stress really on the ge, unlike Aegeus ? kwami (talk) 14:28, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, it is. It's necessarily pronounced that way to make some of the lines scan, such as the very first mention of his name: "Thanks, good Egeus. What's the news with thee?" [1.1.21]. Shakespeare often uses similarly Anglicised pronunciations of his characters' names; see also Andronicus, Ulysses (stress in wrong place), Iago, Jacques (wrong number of syllables).... 91.105.26.143 (talk) 22:09, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

How could the notion that gender critics make ever come to WP notability? Demetrius had a consensual relationship with Helena prior to Act I and a rivalry with Lysander. 68.75.224.214 (talk) 06:39, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
