"You see, her eyes are open. Ay, but their sense is shut."
Seems like a nice way to allow the “sleepwalking" actor to avoid tripping.
Not the same thing as the others, I realize. Just being social.

He is also observing one of the rules of Classical Tragedy, so beloved of the French, which is to tell not show, especially concerning anything violent. Former French major, moi, learned at UT that the French generally abhorred Shakespeare until the Romantic period. Maggie, am I speaking la vérité? The idea of Macbeth brandishing that bloody knife or the terrible torture of Gloucester in Lear was considered barbaric. (And mixing clowns and the tragic was simply incomprehensible.)
They have relaxed about it and embrace M. Shakespeare now.
