< Ruddigore
Ruddigore/YMMV
- Painful Rhyme: "Oh, innocents, listen in time" which rhymes "time/I'm" and "do/so."
- Tough Act to Follow: As suggested above, the fact that Ruddigore came directly after The Mikado, Gilbert and Sullivan's greatest hit (in their own time, at least) meant that to many it seemed like a failure in comparison.
- True Art Is Angsty: Though many early critics and Gilbert himself thought Sullivan's ghost music in Act II too heavy and serious for a comic opera, modern musicologists have come to regard it as some of the finest Sir Arthur ever composed.
