QUINCE, PETER

Meaning of QUINCE, PETER in English

a carpenter, one of the rude mechanicals enlisted to perform in the play-within-a-play in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Quince's prologue to Pyramus and Thisbe allows Shakespeare the opportunity to satirize his own profession with a hilarious demonstration of bad acting and bad writing.
