Take hart!

The deer/heart/love puns continue through the literature we read this semester.
In Act 1, scene 1 Orsino and Curio discuss hunting.
Curio: Will you go hunt, my lord?
Orsino: What, Curio?
Curio: The hart.
Orsino: Why so I do, the noblest that I have.
The first act of Twelfth Night is humorous, specifically Sir Andrew Aguecheek's participation. He is constantly taking things the wrong way and although Sir Toby insists that he is skilled in all languages he cannot understand the simple French question "Pourquoi?"
