Chapter 30 act five

The street in front of the nunnery in the first scene Enter Second Merchant and Angelo. Angelo I'm sorry, sir, I missed your journey; but I can swear he took my necklace, though he himself has the audacity to deny it. What is the reputation of merchant B in this city? Angelo He has a great reputation and credit, and is the most respected man in this city; If he only speaks a word, I can make him use all my wealth. Businessman B spoke softly, it seemed that he was walking over there. Enter Antipholus the Great and Dromio the Great. Angelo was right, what he was wearing was exactly the necklace that he never denied.Come here, sir, I want to talk to him.Mr. Antipholus, I do not understand why you should humiliate me so much; you swear to deny that you took my necklace, and now wear it openly, which is a little injurious to your own honor. .In addition to costing me money, humiliation, and a wrongful lawsuit, you have also caused my good friend. If it weren't for our entanglement, he would be able to board the ship today.You took my necklace, do you want to deny it now?

You gave me the necklace of Antipholus the Great, and I didn't take it for granted. Second businessman, you have obviously been reliant on it. Great Antipholus Who heard me lie? Second Merchant I've heard you with my own ears.Shameless thing!People like you are not fit to associate with decent people. Great Antipholus, it is unreasonable for you to swear; if you have the guts, challenge me, and I will prove that I am a man of honor and integrity. Good businessman 2, I say you're a bastard, let's compare yourself. (The two duel with swords drawn.) Enter Adriana, Luciana, the Whore, and others.

Adriana stop it!For God's sake, don't hurt him; he's a madman.Go and take his sword, and tie up Dromio, and send them to my house. Master Dromio, let us flee; my God, let us hide somewhere!Here is a nunnery, go in quickly, or we will be caught by them. (Antipholus the Great and Dromio the Great escape into the nunnery.) Enter Abbot Ni. Abbot, everyone, stop making trouble!What are you crowding here for? Adriana My poor husband has gone mad, and I'm here to fetch him home.Let us in, and we'll tie him up securely and send him home to be healed. Angelo, I know that his sanity is indeed abnormal.

Second Merchant I regret now that I should have dueled him. How long has Abbot Ni been crazy? Adriana, who had been depressed for a week, was completely changed from before; but it was not until this afternoon that she suddenly broke out. Abbot Nita lost a lot of property because of the shipwreck?Have any good friends died recently?Or is it because of the common fault of ordinary young people, who has a crush on a girl, and is bored because of personal affairs?Among these depressing reasons, which one is it for? Adriana may be for one of the reasons you mentioned last, he must be in love with someone outside, so he is always away from home.

Abbot, then you are to blame him. Adriana Yes, I scolded him too. Abbot, maybe you blame him for not being strong enough. Adriana was within the bounds of women's morality, and I once counted him hard. Abbot Ni, maybe you only talk about him in private. Adriana even in front of the crowd, I also scolded him. Abbot, maybe you didn't scold him hard enough. Adrianna That's our daily talk.In bed, I advised him so that he could not fall asleep; when eating, he was persuaded so much that he could not swallow; when there was no one else, I would talk to him about it; in front of others, I would point fingers at him and warn him; I always told him that was a bad thing to do.

Abbot Ni that's why he's crazy.A jealous woman's tongue is more poisonous than a mad dog's teeth.He lost sleep because of your scolding, that's why his mind is dizzy.You said that when you were eating, you had to let him listen to your lessons, so he suffered from indigestion and stagnated into illness.What is the difference between this kind of attack and madness?You said that when he was playing, his interest was also interrupted by your Qiao He. Since a person can't find comforting entertainment, he will naturally be depressed, disheartened, and full of diseases.Meals, games, and breaks will all be disturbed, and both humans and animals will go crazy because of it.Your husband has lost his reason because of your suspicion and jealousy.

When Luciana behaved violently, she only gave him a few words of advice. ——How did you let her scold you like this without answering a word? Adriana She tricked me into confessing my own faults.Guys, let's go in and drag him out. Abbot, no, no one is allowed into my house. Adriana Then tell your servants to send my husband out. Nor can Abbot Ni.He came in from you, and I must not deliver him into your hands until I have managed to bring him to his senses, or to admit that my efforts have been futile. Adriana, he is my husband, I will take care of him, take care of him, that is my duty, no one else needs to do it for me.Let me take him back quickly.

Don't be in a hurry, abbot, let me take the jade liquid panacea for him, pray to the gods for him, and restore him to his original state. Don't disturb him now.The monk once made a vow in front of God to provide convenience for all living beings; let him stay in my place, you go first. Adrienne I can't go home without my husband.You are a cultivator, how can you break up other people's couples? Abbot Be quiet, go; I can't give him to you. (Down.) Luciana She's so rude, let's complain to the duke. Well, Adriana, let us go; I will kneel and weep and beg the duke, that he himself must come and compel the nun to give up my husband.

Second Merchant I think it's nearly five o'clock, and the duke will probably be passing by on his way to the execution ground. Angelo why? Merchant B Because an unfortunate old leader of Syracuse came into our territory and violated the local laws, the duke wanted to come and imprison him, and watch him be the leader in public. Angelo Look, they've come, we can watch the murder. Luciana Kneel before the duke before he passes the hermitage. Enter the duke with his retinue, the bald Iqin, the executioner, the servants, and others. The duke once again proclaimed to the public that if any friend of his would pay the ransom on his behalf, he would be saved from death, for we were very sorry for him.

Master Adriana Qingtian redresses her grievances!The aunt in this nunnery is not a good person! Duke, she is a superb old lady, how could she bully you? Adrianna informs Your Highness, my husband Antipholus, who you betrothed to me, suddenly became mentally ill today, and led his followers who were also crazy, ran around in the street and broke into other people's houses Here, take away other people's jewelry at will.I once caught him, tied him up, and sent him home. I was busy apologizing to him, but somehow he escaped again. The crazy master and servant, with swords in their hands, threatened us when they saw us. drive us away.Later, I summoned many people and tried to drag him home. When he saw the crowd, he fled into the nunnery.We chased here, but the sister-in-law here blocked the gate and refused to let us in, and refused to let him out; I had no choice but to ask Your Highness to order the sister-in-law to hand over my husband so that I could bring him He went home to heal.

Duke, your husband has made great achievements in following me to the war. When you were married, I promised to take care of him as much as possible.Come, knock on the door of the nunnery for me, and ask the nun who is in charge to come out to see me.I have to ask this matter clearly before leaving. Enter a Servant. Servant, madam!Mrs!Run for your life!The uncle and his servants have already broken free, grabbed the maids and beat them, tied up the exorcist mage, scalded his beard with red-hot iron bars, and burned buckets of dirt when the fire caught fire. Muddy water poured on him.While the uncle reassured him, his servant cut his hair as short as a clown with scissors.If you don't send someone to rescue him quickly, the mage will be tricked to death by them. Adriana shut up, idiot!Your uncle and his followers are here, and what you say is all nonsense. Servant lady, I swear I'm telling the truth.This is what I have just seen with my own eyes, and I have not even caught my breath when I come here.He also clamored to find you, and swore that he would scald your face when he saw you, and make you ashamed. (internal calling) Listen, listen, here he comes, ma'am!run away! Come, duke, stand by my side, don't be afraid.Guards, hold your halberds and be vigilant! Adriana Oh, that's really my husband!You see, he will come and go invisibly, just now he clearly walked into this nunnery, and now he is here again, how could there be such a strange thing! Enter little Antipholus and little Dromio. Your Highness Little Antipholus, please give me justice for the contribution I have made in following you in the north and south and risking my life to save you! YEGIN If I'm not delirious with fear of death, I see my sons Antipholus and Dromio plainly. Your Highness Antipholus, please punish that woman for me!Domon, you betrothed her to me, but she didn't obey women's morals, insulted me in every possible way, and even wanted to murder me!No one can imagine how she treated me so shamelessly today. Duke, tell me how she treated you, and I'll give you a fair judgment. Your Highness Little Antipholus, she shut me out today, and she and a gang of rascals were drinking and having fun in my house. DUKE That is too absurd!Adrianna, are you really like this? Adriana No, my lord, he, I, and my sister were all together at dinner today.It is completely wrong for him to say that to me! Luciana I swear to God she's telling the truth. Angelo's woman who told nonsense!Although he was a lunatic, he did not wrong them. Your Highness Antipholus, I am not talking nonsense when I am drunk, nor am I just offending others because of anger in my heart, although the insults I have received today can make any calm-headed person initiate Crazy.This woman shut me out today to eat; and if the goldsmith standing yonder is not her accomplice, he would prove it for me, for he was with me then.Then he went to get a necklace, and promised me to send it to the hotel where I dined with Balthazar; but when we had finished eating and he hadn't come, I went to him; I met him in the street, The gentleman was with him, but the deceitful goldsmith insisted that he gave me the necklace this day, God knows I didn't see it; , I had no choice but to ask my servant to go home to get the money, but he came back empty-handed; so I asked the servant to accompany me to my house in person; on the way we met my wife and aunt , with a bunch of their crooks, and a sallow-faced bony bastard named Pinch, a down-and-out charlatan who was literally the living dead, and the bastard who thought he could come down. God catches ghosts, his eyes stared at mine, felt my pulse, said that there was a ghost possessed on me, he was shameless, and insisted on embarrassing me; so they all threw themselves on me and threw me I bound my hands and feet and carried them to my home, and threw them together with my servant in a dark and damp cellar. After I bit the rope with my teeth, I escaped and came here immediately.Your Highness, I have suffered such a great humiliation, I must ask you to make the decision for me. Your Highness Angelo, I can prove for him that he does not eat at home because the door of his house is closed and he is not allowed in. Duke But did you give him such a necklace? Angelo He has taken it, my lord; when he ran into the nunnery, These people saw him wear it around his neck. Second Merchant And I can swear with my own ears I heard you confess that you had taken the necklace from him, though you denied it at first in the marketplace, when I drew my sword to fight you and you fled afterwards You went into this nunnery, but somehow you came out again. Little Antipholus I have never set foot in the door of this nunnery, and you have never fought a duel with me, and I have never seen that necklace.God testifies for me, you are wronging me! Duke, this is amazing!I see that you have all drunk the enchanted wine.If you say he went in, then he never came; if he was mad, why didn't he talk mad at all; you said he ate at home, and the goldsmith said he didn't eat at home.Boy, what do you say? Little Monsieur Dromio, he dined with her at the Pubentine's. Whore Yes, he also took the ring off my finger. Little Antipholus Yes, my lord, it is from her that I took this ring. Duke Did you see him go into this courtyard? Lord whore, I did see him go in. Duke is so strange!Go ask the nun who is in charge to come out. (Exit a valet) I see that each of you is mentally ill. Iqin, the most majestic Duke, please allow me to say a word.I saw a man here who could save me, and he would be willing to offer money to redeem me. Duke of Syracuse, say what you have to say. Mr. Eggin, isn't your name Antipholus?Is this not your slave Dromio? Little Dromio, I was indeed a bound slave an hour ago; but thank him for biting my rope, so now I am a free man, but my name is really Dromio . Yiqin, I think you two must still remember me. Little Dromio, old man, I saw you, and I only remember ourselves; we were tied up just like you.Have you been diagnosed and treated by Pinch because of your mental illness? Yiqin, why do you look at me like a stranger?You should know me. Little Antipholus I never saw you. Yiqin!Grief has changed me much since our parting, and age and troubles have etched ugly marks upon my countenance; but tell me, can you hear my voice yet? Little Antipholus couldn't hear it. Ikin de Lomio, how about you? Little Dromio No, old man, I can't hear it either. Yiqin, I think you can hear it. Little Dromio I don't think I can hear it; and if they answer you so, so you must believe them; for you are a prisoner now, and you can't do anything of your own. Eggin can't hear my voice!Ah, unrelenting time!Have you made my throat so hoarse in these short seven years that even my only son cannot hear my sad and feeble tones?Although my wrinkled face is covered with beard and hair like frost and snow, and although my blood vessels have been frozen, I still have some memories of my twilight years, and my dying oil lamp is still shining for the last time. There is still a glimmer of hearing in my dull ears, and I believe I will not mistake anyone.Tell me you are my son Antipholus. Little Antipholus I never saw my father in all my life. Yiqin was seven years ago, son, you should remember that we parted in Syracuse.Maybe my son didn't want to recognize me because he saw me being so obedient and ugly today. His Royal Highness, the Duke of Antipholus, and those who know me in this city can prove to me that what you said is wrong. I have never been to Syracuse in my life. Tell you, duke, man of Syracuse, Antipholus has been my servant for twenty years, and he has never been to Syracuse during these twenty years.I think you probably recognize people like this because you are old, fainted, and frightened. Enter Abbot Nichaer the Great Antipholus and the Great Dromio. Abbot Ni, please take a look at a wronged person. (Crowd watching.) Adrienne I see that I have two husbands, is it my eyesight? DUKE One of these two is the soul of the other; so are those two.Which one is the self and which one is the soul?Who can separate them? Master Dromio, I am Dromio, tell him to go. Little Sir Dromio, I am Dromio, please let me stay here. Great Antipholus Are you Iqin?Or his ghost? Grand Dromio O my lord, who has bound you up? Abbot, no matter who bound him, I will loosen the rope for him, redeem his freedom, and find myself a husband.Tell me, old man Igin, is your wife called Emilia, who once bore you two beautiful children?If you are that Igne, answer your Emilia! YEGIN If I'm not dreaming, then you really are Emilia.If you are really her, tell me where is my child who drifted with you on that log? Abbot, we were all rescued by the Ebidanon, but then some wicked Corinthian fishermen took Dromio and my son, and I was left alone with the Ebidanon .What happened to them afterwards, I don't know.I myself became a nun just like you see me now. Duke, now I remember the story he told this morning.These two Antipholus with the same face, these two Dromios who were indistinguishable from each other, and her story of her peril in the sea, it turned out that they were the parents of these two children. Inadvertently got together with each other.Are you originally from Corinth, Antipholus? Antipholus the Great No, my lord, it is not I; I am from Syracuse. Wait a minute, duke, you stand apart, I can't tell who you are. My lord Antipholus, I am from Corinth. Little Dromio I came with him. His lord Minaphon, uncle of His Highness Antipholus the Younger, that famous warrior, brought me here. Adriana Which of you two is having dinner with me today? Great Antipholus is I, good sister-in-law. Adrienne, aren't you my husband? Little Antipholus No, he is not your husband. Great Antipholus I am not her husband, yet she calls me so; and her sister, the fair lady, who takes me for her brother-in-law. (To Luciana) If what I see and hear now is not a dream, then what I have told you may become reality. Mr. Angelo, that is the necklace you took from me. Major Antipholus Yes, I do not deny. Your Majesty Antipholus has arrested me for this necklace. Angelo Yes, I do not deny it. Adriana I'll give Dromio the money to take you out on bail; but I don't think he gave you the money. Little Dromio No, I got no money. Antipholus the Great This bag of money was brought to me by Dromio, my servant, whom you gave me.It turned out that we recognized each other as the wrong person, so we made so many mistakes. Little Antipholus Now I will redeem my father with this bag of money. Duke, that is not necessary, I have already pardoned your father from the death penalty. Mr. whore, you must give me back my ring. Hello little Antipholus, take it, thank you for your hospitality. If your highness, the abbot, does not think the hut is poor, please sit down for a while and listen to us talk about your experiences; everyone here has been involved in various misunderstandings due to misunderstandings, please come in together, and let us apologize to you.My children, in the past thirty-three years, I seem to have experienced the pain of dystocia, and it is only now that you have given birth to your heavy twins.Your Highness, my husband, my children, and you two children who grew up with my children and shared joys and sorrows, everyone, come to a feast of baptism and be happy with me.After suffering for so many years, it is now the end of the hardship! Duke, I am willing to accompany you and join your conversation. (Exit the Duke, Abbot Ni, Yiqin, whore, merchant B, Angelo and attendants.) Master Dromio, shall I fetch your things from the ship? Little Antipholus Dromio, what of me have you put on board? Grand Dromio is your goods in the centaur inn. Great Antipholus He is speaking to me.I am your master, Dromio.Come on, let's go together, let's talk about things later.You also make out with your brother. (Exit Antipholus the Younger, Antipholus the Great, Adriana, and Luciana.) Great Dromeo There is a fat woman in your master's house, who took me for you at dinner to-day, and kept me from the kitchen; now she is my sister-in-law, not my wife. Little Dromio, I see you are not my brother, but my mirror. Only when I see you, I know that I am a handsome and handsome boy.Why don't you go in and watch them celebrate? Grand Dromeo, I dare not; you are the first, and you should go first. Little Dromio This is a problem; how can it be solved? Great Dromio, let us cast lots to decide who is the boss; for now, please go first. Little Dromio No, since we were born in the same month and the same day, we should join hands and walk together. (same below.)
