Honors Comedy: Talking Points

No class on 1/21/13. But for next week, think about:
1) Who is your favorite Marx Brother & why?
2) To what social class do the characters played by the Marx Brothers belong in A Night at the Opera?
3) Why do the Marx Brothers' characters care about the young lovers?
4) When Groucho and Chico are going over the contracts, Groucho asks Chico if Chico knows what a "duplicate" is and Chico answers something like "those kids in Canada." What's the basis of the joke here?
