Summary

What are Iago's duties as Othello's Ensign, and why is he so dissatisfied with the appointment? Falstaff loves to drink sack - but what is sack? Shakespeare's original audience would have needed no help with references to their everyday lives. This work provides explanations on topics as varied as astrology, hunting, children's games, and money.
