About Sotie.

There is some scholarly debate over whethethe sotie should be considered a separate genre from the farce or the morality play,
but it does have certain unique characteristics.Whereas the characters in a farce would be distinguished individuals
with proper names, the characters in the soties were pure allegories.The characters had names such as First Fool and
Second Fool or Everyman,Pilgrim etc.Sometime there would be a leader of the fools, called Mother Fool.
These allegorical protagonists were also common to morality plays, but unlike this genre,the sotie was primarily meant to entertain.
The plays also had highly complex rhyme schemes,and sophisticated verse structures
