Hey folks,
Just some food for thought (possible exam idea?). Have you noticed the use of comedy in our readings? This week with Candide the comedy continues. So my question is why. What are your thoughts on why an age devoted to reason would use comedy? Are reason and comedy tied together? And what does that say about our current era? Have you noticed that a comedy almost never wins the Oscar for best picture? Why?
