Lines 10 and 11
• “workman” verses “cobbler”
The word “workman” implies that the cobbler is a skilled worker; however, a “cobbler” (besides being someone who repairs shoes) is somebody who messes up everything he tries to do.
![Page 43: Act I The Tragedy of Julius Caesar](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568145f7550346895db300de/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Lines 13 and 14
• “safe conscience…mender of bad soles”
The wordplay here is on the homophone “soles”—which, when used after the word “conscience,” sounds like “souls”; however, we know that since the speaker is a cobbler, he speaks in reality of the soles of shoes.
![Page 44: Act I The Tragedy of Julius Caesar](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568145f7550346895db300de/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Lines 17 and 18
• When the cobbler tells Flavius to “be not out with him,” he actually means for Flavius to not be angry with him; however, when he says “yet, if you be out, sir, I can mend you,” he speaks of fixing the soles of the shoes that are worn out.
![Page 45: Act I The Tragedy of Julius Caesar](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568145f7550346895db300de/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Line 21
• When Marullus asks what the cobbler means when he says that he can “mend him,” the cobbler replies by saying “Why, sir, cobble you.” Taken in the connotative meaning of the word, the cobbler is saying that he’s “messing up” the tribune—which he’s doing verbally.
![Page 46: Act I The Tragedy of Julius Caesar](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568145f7550346895db300de/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Lines 23 through 28
• The pun in the lines is with the word “awl,” which is a tool. But the way it was heard would have been “all.”
• In addition, he says that he meddles with no “women’s matters,” which is an off-color pun.
![Page 47: Act I The Tragedy of Julius Caesar](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568145f7550346895db300de/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Lines 31 through 33
• When Flavius asks why the cobbler leads the men about the streets, he tells them that he’s trying to get himself more work by wearing out the men’s shoes.
