    Example of a Comic Grotesque character in Shakespeare

    I'm looking for a comic stereotypical character but I can only think of Sir Toby Belch and Pompey (from MfM). Can you think of any others?

    Falstaff.

    Feste isn't "grotesque" to the same degree but he has some melovelance.

    Also consider Giacomo (from Cymbeline).

    May I ask what it is you are looking to do?

    It's just discussing and comparing examples of comic grotesques. However, I've sorted something now
