""Character and Comedy"" by Edward V. Lucas is a book that explores the relationship between character and humor in literature. The author argues that a character's personality and behavior can greatly influence the comedic tone of a story, and that understanding this connection is key to creating effective comedic writing. Through a series of essays and analyses of classic works of literature, Lucas examines how different types of characters can be used to create different types of humor, from the absurd to the satirical. He also explores the role of timing, language, and other literary devices in crafting comedic scenes. Ultimately, ""Character and Comedy"" is a thoughtful and engaging exploration of the art of humor in literature, and a valuable resource for writers, scholars, and fans of comedic writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
