A gentleman, as defined in the dictionary, is a courteous and honourable man ora man of good social position. When we take this meaning, we have no problems in declaring that the two boys are courteous and honourable men. It is their courteousness, cheerfulness, earnestness and quiet dignity that appeal to the speaker. It is significant that the boys do not raise their voice in the complaint even once. Their honourable behaviour is evident in the fact that though they have to work very hard, sacrificing sleep, food and pleasure, they never contemplate dishonourable ways of earning money. They are honourable in their love for their sister. Their single goal in life is to get her cured and to see her again as a singer. They are honourable in the brave work they carry out as messengers for the Resistance Movement at the time of war. They are truly the two gentlemen of Verona. Thus the title is justified.
