Jaques (As You Like It) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Jaques (As You Like It)
Jaques is one of the main characters in Shakespeare's ''As You Like It''. The 'Melancholy Jaques' as he's always being called is one of Duke Senior's noblemen who lives with him in the Forest of Arden. The role has long been a favorite for famous Shakespearean actors. ==Jaques' cynicism==
Jaques' distinguishing characteristic is his unmitigated cynicism. He is the only purely contemplative character in Shakespeare. He thinks, and does nothing. His whole occupation is to amuse his mind, and he is totally regardless of his body and his fortunes. Hazlitt describes him as "the prince of philosophical idler; his only passion is thought; he sets no value upon anything but as it serves as food for reflection".〔Hazlitt, William, Characters of Shakespeare's Plays〕
