A Fool's College Admission

A Fool's College Admission

I’ve always taken people literally. When Dad told me to empty the basin, I asked where he wanted me to pour the water. “On my head,” he snapped. So I did. When Mom told me to do the laundry, I asked whether I should add detergent. She gave a cold laugh. “Sure. Add caramel sauce.” So I poured an entire bottle of caramel sauce into the washing machine. Everyone said I was stupid. But this “stupid” guy took first place in a nationwide academic competition. I earned my school’s only direct-admission spot at one of the country’s top universities. The day the results were announced, Lucas Hale, the school bully, ripped my application apart in front of the entire class. “You can’t even understand sarcasm. Why should someone like you get direct admission? “Last night, I saw you get out of a luxury SUV. Who knows what kind of deal you made with the woman inside?” The whole classroom went quiet. Then everyone started looking at me differently. Lucas stood there with a self-righteous expression. “I’m just speaking up for the rest of the class. Why should we work ourselves to death only to lose out to someone who got in through connections?” I thought about it seriously. Then I took out my phone and called my older sister. “Claire, they said I got my admission spot by sleeping with someone. Is that true?” A few seconds later, I held the phone out to Lucas, whose face had gone pale. “My sister wants to know something.” “What’s your name?” “And your student ID number?”

THE REJECTED PRINCE’S OWL

“Should I just burn this house down with them?” I mumbled, watching my boyfriend getting fucked. The shrill ring of my phone shattered the moment as they sprang apart, their eyes widening at the sight of me. “Shit” I cursed, “hold on” I smiled at them, picking up the call “hello! Not a good day to you. I’m at priest Paul’s house whoever you may be, please let me call you back” I rushed, ending the call without waiting for a reply. “W what are you doing here? How?” I gesture towards the opened door, “you should have made sure the door was looked before… you know, all this. Fathers. It was quite pathetic to watch two old priests groan horribly, especially with no popcorn for me to crunch.” I forced a smile on. “But I’m sorry for bursting in unannounced though, so you should continue. Keep it going zaddy, I mean b!tches. Don’t stop” I winked, walking towards the door. Amelia walked in on her boyfriend getting fucked and instead of karma to have them stricken, it decides to play a game on her instead. “How the hell am I supposed to save a tyrant as a owl?

What is the plot summary of Ignoramus: A play?

4 Answers2025-12-01 07:06:20
I stumbled upon 'Ignoramus' while digging through classic comedies, and it's a riot! Written by George Ruggle in the early 17th century, this Latin play is a satirical take on the legal profession. The story follows a bumbling lawyer named Ignoramus—literally "we don't know" in Latin—who's hilariously incompetent yet absurdly confident. He fumbles through cases, misinterpreting laws and making a mockery of the court, all while chasing the hand of a wealthy woman who sees right through his antics.

The play’s genius lies in its sharp wit, poking fun at the pretentiousness of scholars and lawyers of the time. There’s a subplot involving clever servants outsmarting their masters, which feels like a precursor to later comedic tropes. The dialogue’s packed with wordplay, so much so that even in translation, the humor shines. It’s a reminder that some themes—like hubris and love—are timeless. I’d kill to see a modern adaptation with today’s political satire layered in!

Who are the main characters in Ignoramus: A play?

Ignoramus' is this wild 17th-century Latin comedy that feels like a cross between a Shakespearean romp and a university satire. The protagonist, Theodore, is this lovably clueless student who gets tangled in absurd misunderstandings—his name literally means 'ignoramus,' which tells you everything. Then there's his love interest, Isabella, who's way sharper than him but plays along with the chaos. The real scene-stealer is the scheming servant, Trincalo, who pulls strings like a puppet master. The play's packed with exaggerated academic stereotypes too, like the pompous doctor and pedantic professors who exist just to be mocked.

What I love is how timeless the humor feels—the characters are archetypes we still recognize today. Theodore's that guy who never reads the room, Isabella's the 'straight man' rolling her eyes at the antics, and Trincalo? Pure chaotic energy. It's like if 'The Office' was set in 1600s Cambridge. The play's rarely performed now, which is a shame because the characters have this physical comedy potential that'd kill on stage.

'Ignoramus' is such a gem! It's a 17th-century Latin comedy by George Ruggle, and while it’s niche, I stumbled across a few resources. Project Gutenberg might have older translations—those public domain treasures are gold. Also, check Open Library or HathiTrust; they sometimes digitize rare texts. If you’re okay with scans, Google Books occasionally has previews.

For a more modern touch, academic sites like JSTOR offer excerpts if you dig deep (though full access might need institutional login). Honestly, it’s worth browsing university libraries’ digital collections too—some share classics freely. The thrill of uncovering obscure works like this is half the fun!

Is Ignoramus: A play available as a PDF download?

I’ve been digging around for obscure plays lately, and 'Ignoramus' caught my eye—it’s a 17th-century Latin comedy by George Ruggle. While I haven’t stumbled upon an official PDF, there are a few digital archives and academic sites that might have it. Project Gutenberg or Google Books could be good starting points, though older texts like this sometimes pop up in university library databases.

If you’re into Renaissance drama, it’s worth checking out similar works like 'Gammer Gurton’s Needle'—they share that same bawdy, scholarly humor. Honestly, tracking down niche plays feels like a treasure hunt; half the fun is the chase!

How long is Ignoramus: A play novel?

Man, 'Ignoramus: A Play Novel' is one of those hidden gems that feels like it flies by even though it’s got some heft to it. The version I read was around 250 pages, but it really depends on the edition—some older prints cram more text per page, while newer ones might space it out. What’s wild is how dense it feels despite the page count; the dialogue crackles, and the satire bites hard. It’s not a breezy afternoon read, but it’s not a doorstopper either. Perfect for a weekend dive if you love sharp, witty plays that blur the line between theater and prose.

I remember loaning my copy to a friend who usually sticks to epic fantasy, and even they got hooked by the pacing. The way it balances humor and social commentary makes the length feel just right—long enough to sink into, short enough to leave you craving more. If you’re on the fence, I’d say go for it; it’s a satisfying bite, not a marathon.
