[edit] Merge?
Seems to be the same fairy/goblin from a number of other stories, could be merged. Stevezor 16:27, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
True, however Shakespeare's Puck is markedly distinct from the mythological Puck by virtue of the character's multiple adaptations in thousands of performances and status as a literary figure rather than the property of folk tales. I think Harold Bloom and/or Daniel Fischlin would agree. Marccameron 04:52, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Shouldnt be merged. Shakespeare's Puk is very different to that of the mythology Puk. The section on Shakespeare's Puk should be expanded.
Merge, this is the same elf and the same archetype that Rudyard Kipling wrote about, and many others did. Shakespeare's Puck deserves his section in Puck article, but not his own one. Garret Beaumain 20:43, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
I think Puck should have his own page. I also think that all of Shakespeare's main characters should have their own pages, discussing who they are, what they do in the play, and their part in everyday Elizabethan times, or whatever period their play was set. NimbusJDF 03:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
I agree with the above. Surely there is enough critical commentary on Puck in shakespeare to merit a separate article. Someone just has to have the desire to write and develop it. Wrad 03:25, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Add more?
I developed this page some a little while ago, what more should be done?Sydneysaurus 15:50, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- I've been developing some pages for more minor character. Maybe they can give you some ideas. Take a look at the Rosaline and Sycorax (Shakespeare) pages. Wrad 16:36, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Change of Name
This article should be titles "Robin Goodfellow," not Puck. The character from the play is not also known as Robin Goodfellow, he is Robin Goodfellow. This character is also known as Puck. This should be changed to be a more accurate representation. Locke (talk) 03:20, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
