Laughter is one of the main ways to interact with others. It is a social experience that not only makes oneself feel good, but also helps to make new bonds and strengthen bonds that are present. When one laughs or gives a happy snort, it shows that one is entertained by another and for at least the moment enjoys the other’s company. The one who caused the laugh receives a boost a confidence and happiness in return. With positive emotions flowing between the two, a relationship is able to…

In the short story, “The Cask of Amontillado” there is many important symbols, dialogue and scenarios that can be overlooked and still readers can have a decent picture of what the story is about, but without doubt, the one element that cannot be overlooked is the irony utilized by Montresor.

Although Death by Scrabble is a sad but humorous story written by Charlie Fish, in the story, the author utilizes a lot of ironic scenes that provoke readers’ sense of humor rather than lets readers only feel the sadness. One of the irony readers can see is that the husband always expresses the hatred towards his wife while she does not realize anything. It is demonstrated by “I hate my wife,” and it appears a lot of times in the story (1). It stands for the type of dramatic irony, in which the…

career level they know more than who was president and who won what war. Many may say that the classics that may have been a fraud, but how does that explain all the proof of these wonderful hand painted vases, the wonderful architecture, the old comedy plays, and all the stories about the woman and goddesses. You might say that the classics are nothing more than just a history course, but that is not it. History is the study of past events that are particularly in human affairs. Therefore, the…

Comedy can be created with varying methods. In both Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest and William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, the characters carry on with regular social engagements without knowledge; that is only available to the audience, relevant to the play. Both stories, effectively, use dramatic irony in a similar fashion to create humour. Through the conversations involving mistaken identity, foolish behaviour caused by the unfavourable situations, and dishonesty in love,…

I love comedy just like everyone else. There’s a famous saying that “Laughter is the best medicine.” Laughter sends chemical to our brain called endorphins, boosting our moods throughout the day. However, many people see comedy as merely funny, but beneath the humor lies a layer of social commentary about humanity. Good comics play an important function in society by holding up a mirror and forcing us to confront realities that we would often prefer to ignore. Stand-up comedians regularly…

There are many ways things can be humorous. To be considered humorous, however, a literature piece should have some aspects of humor in it. Dave Barry, an award winning author and columnist, wrote the very rhetorical “Dave Barry 's Manliness Manifesto”. Barry’s key to making his piece humorous was by using common humor elements; such as, satire and irony. Rachel Callman, a writer for Tosh.0, is the author of “Selfie’s Word of the Year Acceptance Speech,” which is a very satirical piece which…

responds by telling Hamlet to gather his stuff, because he will be sent to England for his misdeeds. Comedy is shown within this scene by Hamlet continuing to ridicule Polonius for his insignificance, even after he had killed him. To the other characters, Hamlet is seen as a madman because of the way he responded to simple questions with abnormal answers, which makes Hamlet a very humorous man. The comedy that Hamlet provides in this scene foreshadows that a plot turn is about to…

Generational differences are consistent through Moliere's Tartuffe. Yet, the period in which this narrative occurs may not read well to a modern audience who may not be familiar with family dynamics of the time. Staging the play in modern-day Manhattan, New York, highlights the generational differences between characters in Tartuffe, allowing modern audiences to relate to the comedic themes in the play. In the opening scene, Madam Parnell's criticisms resemble criticisms of many Baby Boomers,…
