- W2256212462 abstract "Artistically, we have 'invented' animals in countless ways, mostly exploitative, but every now and then nonhumans surprise us with their lessons. Crab, the aptly named dog in Shakespeare's play, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, is in a sense a major character, and the only animal to be so in Shakespeare's canon. He is companion to the clown, Lance, and is the recipient/auditor of two delightfully quirky and radically enlightening monologues. Crab's name covers a wide swath in the Chain of Being: Crab stands as the 'sour apple', fruit or tree, as well as the backward scuttling crustacean. Hamlet famously informs Polonius that he would be as old as he is, 'if, like a crab, you could go backward' (Hamlet 2.2.202), and in this earlier comedy, we have a fully reified 'Crab' complete with his own sense of self, leaving Lance, his master, more fitting as a 'backward' going crab. Finally, Crab is humanised as Lance's 'crabby' companion. I examine how this friendship becomes one of the most poignant and disturbing in a work that satirises conventional human love affairs. The play deftly exposes human failure in love, even to the extent of having the traditional happy ending marred by the supposedly faithful lover, Valentine. Valentine offers Proteus, his best buddy, the woman whom Proteus minutes before attempted to rape. Two Gentlemen is notorious for this troublesome, not to say offensive, ending." @default.
