    Argument: Shakespeare writes comedy plays in order to educate the reader.

    Claim: The reason that Shakespeare creates the characters in his comedies to be somewhat uneducated is to teach the reader how not to behave. He influences the reader to feel emotion for the foolish characters that he creates.

    Evidence: "...the showing of characters behaving as people ought to behave, of characters behaving evilly or foolishly and thereby warning us not to follow their examples, and of characters whom we are made to sympathise with, but who, nevertheless,behave in a foolish way."
