1) What reality TV show might show a servant, who like Mosca, to flatter Volpone, states that wealth "It transforms/the most deformed, and restores them lovely, / as it were the strange poetical Girdle. IOVE / Could not inuent, to himselfe, a shroud more subtle, / to passe Acrisius guardes. It is the thing / Makes all the world her grace, her youth, her beauty." (5.2) The set up of Volpone and Mosca, as well as the other less successful symbiotic relationships in "Volpone" suggests, more than any medical show -- the relationship between Donald Trump and the various Moscas of the "Apprentice." Although the "Apprentice" is not self-consciously satirical like the "Daily Show," no...

ERASED BEFORE YOU TURN IT IN!!! Volpone by Ben Jonson Act I, Scene 1, Lines 30-39: This is at the start of the play when we learn about what kind of man Volpone is.
