In Love's Labour's Lost, language is one of the main characteristics. In the play how it happens, or more precisely, how it is described is more important than what happens. Particular person comments the action of other characters using particular language. Words are more important than the plot. And most of the actions consist of verbal exchanges between characters. Among Shakespeare's plays, there are three plays which do not have sources: A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest and Love's Labour's Lost. They are all in a sense artificial ; the first two use magic and the last uses the magic of language. 'The world of Narvarre has the appearance of a playground, a special place marked off from the pressures of social reality and the unpleasant implications of a world of fallen nature' (Montrose 529). The society itself is an artificial one where artificial people exist. The characters in the play can be grouped by their birth, their social rank and their usage of language. The King of Navarre and Biron are intoxicated with their elaborate words but they do not know the way to communicate with others using their language. Costard believes the power of language and tries to learn new words by interpreting them as he likes. Armado is a braggart making play with synonyms. Holofernes and Nathaniel use Latin, which is no longer used in the world. The Princess of France prefers sincere words to flattery. The aim of this paper is to examine the language of characters independently.
