I need help trying to find a quote where mengo in Fuente ovejuna is a comic in the play, thanks or at least steer me in the right act in the play
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum again. Let me explain how my students read literature. The first time is for a quick idea of who, what, when, etc. The second time is answering specific questions. The third time it should all "fall together." A quick way to answer your question this evening is to SKIM each character that speaks and only look for Mengo's lines.
Beginning with the Index, when Mengo is described as "labrador gracioso," it forecasts that he is funny and witty. He doesn't enter until the second act. Possibly it's because I'm so tired nothing seems comical to me this evening! However, hee are some lines to check and then you can tell me what you chose.
Act II = 617 Act III 245, 408, 765
Now, don't just loo at THAT page but the group of lines.

PI chose line 230 in act three when mengo says It wasn't enough to be a pimp, you went and whipped my arse as well.
It looks like we don't have the same copy because on my copy that's where the Comendador speaks. But it looks like a reasonable choice on your copy.

To find a specific quote in Lope de Vega's play "Fuente Ovejuna" where Mengo is a comic character, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by obtaining a copy of the play. You can find a printed version at your local library or bookstore, or you can search for an online version of the play.
2. Once you have the play in front of you, familiarize yourself with the structure and acts of the play. "Fuente Ovejuna" consists of three acts.
3. In this case, since you are specifically looking for a quote with Mengo as a comic character, it is helpful to understand Mengo's role in the play. Mengo is a servant who often provides comic relief through his wit and humorous actions.
4. Begin by skimming or reading through the play, paying attention to sections where Mengo appears. Consider scenes where comedic dialogue or humorous situations are likely to occur.
5. As you come across lines or scenes that involve Mengo's character, take note of any quotes that stand out in terms of comedy or humor. Look for moments where Mengo delivers funny lines, engages in comedic actions, or interacts with the other characters in a humorous way.
6. If you cannot find a specific quote or scene that fits your requirements, try focusing on moments that elicit laughter or engage in comic relief. While there may not be a single quote dedicated to Mengo's comic character, there are likely sections in the play that highlight his comedic role.
Remember to consider the context of the quote and how it contributes to the overall comedic tone of Mengo's character within the play "Fuente Ovejuna."
