who is described as a shrewd and knavish sprite
Puck (A Midsummer Night's Dream) Puck is a clever, mischievous elf, sprite or jester that personifies the wise knave. In the play, Shakespeare introduces Puck as the "shrewd and knavish sprite" and "that merry wanderer of the night". Puck and Bottom, jesters to Oberon the fairy king, are the only two characters who interact and progress the three central stories in the whole play. Puck is the one who is first introduced in the fairies' story and creates the drama of the lovers' story by breaking up a young couple lost in an enchanted forest, as well as by replacing Bottom's head with that of an ass. Similarly, Bottom is performing in a play intending it to be presented in the lovers' story, as well as interacting with Titania twice in the opening dialogue of Act 2 Scene 1 as "he".
Makapansgat pebble The Makapansgat pebble cannot be seen as art if a usual definition of the term is used, as the object was found and not made. Nevertheless that an Australopithecus may have recognized a face would reveal that the early hominid had some sort of capacity for symbolic thinking, necessary for the development of art and language.[1] If the early hominid has seen this object really as a face, or had magical speculations towards this object or just enjoyed the pebble remains unclear.
