In Shakespeare's play "Love's Labour's Lost", Holofernes, who tediously translates everyday English into Latin, provides a humorous portrait of a Pedagogue (A). The reason why Holofernes is considered a humorous pedagogue is because he mixed up English and Latin synonyms and phrases. 

A pedagogue is a strict, pedantic and dogmatic teacher who does not have much patience with lively students.
Holofernes was only introduced into the play during the fourth act. His character is not essential to the core themes of the play.
