 | | In Acts IV and V. the doubling of characters, of scenes and of themes is intricately woven into the action and language, as in the later plays. |
 | | Violante in Double Falshood also maintains her disguise into the final act, obviously for the same theatrical purpose, whereas in Don Quixote, she changes into woman's clothes before the final scene of reconciliation. |
 | | The pattern of doubling is complex, somewhat as in Hamlet, where there is a doubling of fathers, of revengers (Fortinbras and Laertes, as well as Hamlet), of spies (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and Polonius), of sons (Laertes and Fortinbras as well as Hamlet), and doubling of scenes. |
