Question

Ques 6. Comment on the ending of the chapter “Two Gentlemen of Verona”. Assume another appropriate end to the story and pen it down in about 100 words

Answer 1

Two Gentlemen of Verona doesn't appear to have much merit. The plot is unlikely, even for a comedy; the motivations of the characters — Proteus, in particular — are so mercurial that an audience finds them hard to accept; and, finally, the ending seems absurdly unexpected, not so much through design, it seems, as through a desire to have done with the plot in a conventional and "satisfactorily" happy manner. Several Shakespearean critics take Shakespeare to task for his "uncertainty of metrical expression," but this matter seems to deal more with Shakespeare's poetics than with his sense of drama and comedy.

Answer 2

If there is any part which needs to be termed as the least satisfying part then undoubtedly it is the last part of the play named Two gentlemen of Verona.

The play ends with numerous unsolved issues and series of peculiar emotions. I

t seemed as if the ending was forced.
