Armado’s young page, Mote (spelled “Moth” in some editions) is surprisingly intelligent given his young age and relatively low social status. He is able to outwit and poke fun at his superiors, including Armado, Holofernes, and Nathaniel, of whom he quips, “they have been at a great feast of languages and stolen the scraps.”
