The Reckoning
A comic pause in the plot: a Latin lesson in the street where William's grammar drill gets drowned out by Mistress Quickly's filthy mishearings. Nothing in the Falstaff plot moves forward, though Quickly's report that he is 'very courageous mad' about his dunking and Mistress Page's hurry keep the next trap in view. The scene runs on two kinds of broken language: Evans's Welsh accent turns 'hic, haec, hoc' into 'hig, haeg, hog', and Quickly hears 'horum' as 'whore' and 'caret' as a carrot ('a good root'). Notice that the only person here who is actually learning anything is the quiet boy. It is probably the closest Shakespeare comes to showing a lesson from his own grammar-school days.
If this happened today…
You drop your kid off with a tutor and ask for a quick check on his Spanish homework, right there on the pavement. The tutor has a thick accent, and your chatty neighbour, who has tagged along, keeps jumping in: 'Did he just say something dirty? You're teaching a child that?' The tutor gets more and more irritated, the neighbour gets more and more scandalised, and your kid mumbles most of the right answers while the two adults argue over his head. You leave rather pleasantly surprised that he's learned anything at all.
