Parties are often preceded by fun questions, like what to give? Who to bring (if you have a plus one, that is)? When to arrive? And, crucially, what to wear? Most of us don’t just happen to have a floor-length silk gown or a tailcoat hanging around in our closet, waiting for the day our Met Gala invite finally arrives. But would that even be the right kind of thing to wear to such an event? We’ve got answers, and options, for every possible occasion on your social calendar.
Answer: pun is a joke that has more than 1 meaning.
Explanation:
One of the first puns in Julius Caesar comes in Act II scene i. Two tribunes (a type of government official during Caesar's time) are patrolling the streets and attempting to clear out the crowds of people who are celebrating Caesar's recent victory. Since all the workers have taken a holiday to celebrate, the tribunes ask the men who they are and why they are not in their shops. One man responds by saying 'I am a mender of bad soles.' The officials press him further and he tells them to not be angry with him, but if their soles are worn out, he can fix them. When the word 'sole' is spoken, it could be interpreted as 'soul.' The cobbler is playing on the fact that sole has more than one meaning, depending on the context.
