Yet more nothing

Noting- paying attention to something or someone.
Nothing
Noting- musicality and tunes.


Don John- 'you, are both sure and will assist me?' - Rhetorical question? , he expects the others to help him. This shows his power, as everybody will just do exactly what he wants.   (176)

'I am trusted with a muzzle' -Lack of power as the 'muzzle' shows his inability to not be able to be loud and sing. He can also not give commands as he is silenced.  (174)

'Therefore i have a decreed not to sing'
-Noting in a musical way as he cant sing.
-Denied power? This could turn him into a villain.  (174)

 'Can you make no use of your discontent'
 -Noting
-Conrade, trying to understand Don John. (174)

'I cannot hide what i am'
-He cannot speak properly, make him individual, he likes being different. He is proud and accept his difference which shows his confidence. This is why he, himself doesn't doubt his power.

'If i had my mouth i would bite'
- If he could speak properly he would be vicious and cruel.
-His confidence within himself, shows that he is powerful as he looks down on others as if he is better than everyone. (174)
