hereafter.”

9. 4. Find an example of Shakespeare’s use
of irony and explain it.
• “If this were played upon a stage
now, I could condemn it as an
improbable fiction.”

Olivia’s tendency toward excessive behavior?
• “A fiend like thee might
bear my soul to hell.”
• Olivia is saying that she

over blown as the Duke.

her/him.
