Question

Why doesn't the audience at the first Royal Nonesuch performance retaliate against the duke and Dauphin? They are afraid of breaking the law. They feel the play could have been better but they like it anyway. They plan to run the "actors" out of town later. They are embarrassed about being ripped off and do not want others to know.

Answer 1

the answer is: They are embarrassed about being ripped off and do not want others to know.

Answer 2

The audience at the first Royal Nonesuch performance didn’t retaliate against the duke and Dauphin because they are embarrassed about being ripped off and do not want others to know. This can be found in Chapter 23 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, when the duke and the dauphin end their show after only a brief performance.
