bullet::::- launcelot gobbo in "the merchant of venice" – nowhere in the play does gobbo do anything that qualifies him as an official fool or jester. still, he is considered as such, perhaps because he is called a "patch" and a fool, and also because of his (and his father's) malapropisms ("this is the very "defect" of the matter sir," "tears "exhibit" my tongue"). it is possible that these terms refer rather to the idea of the clown. either way, gobbo is proof that shakespeare did not necessarily constantly discriminate in his qualifications of clowns, fools, and jesters.
