Quote #10
COMMON MAN: [...] It isn't difficult to keep alive, friends—just don't make trouble—or if you must make trouble make the sort of trouble that's expected. (2.795)
In other words, if you're going to cause trouble, make sure you're not doing it to someone with a lot of power. That's not exactly a heartwarming moral—in fact, it's pretty cynical. Still, given the rather harrowing events of the play, we're not sure if we'd disagree with this assessment of the situation.
