"The theater (sic) audience's assumption of its own priveleged position as eavesdropper is undercut by the frequency with which the play's characters are deceived by theur assumptions that eavesdropping offers unproblematic access to the truth."
"The theater audience is denied direct access to the pivotal moments in Don Pedro and Claudio's courtship of Hero - Don Pedro's wooing of her at the masked ball and the scene of Margaret and Borachio at Hero's window - and instead must cope with multiple and contradictory narratives."
Nova Myhill (1999)
