TWO NOTES ON SHAKESPEARE: Fontibell and Fountains

Pages 39-41 | Published online: 19 Jul 2013
 

Abstract

In All's Well that Ends Well (4.2.1), Bertram addresses Diana as Fontibell. This intentional misnaming may be part of his attempt to seduce her by reference to her sex organ, as Fontibell can be interpreted as “beautiful vagina.”
