About “Virginibus puerisque”
The text discusses the marital status of characters in Shakespeare's works, noting that most are portrayed as marrying men. It observes that figures such as Mercutio, Iago, Jacques, and the Fool in LEAR are exceptions, with their single status stemming from cynicism, personal heartbreak, or a spirit of incredulity rather than a modern preference for the single state.
