Comedy Ladder
Low Comedy
Malvolio: "I extend my hand to him thus quenching my familiar smile with an austere regard of control. Sir Toby Belch: "And does not Toby take you a blow o' the lip then?"
Explain: The two quotes are example of low comedy because they are making fun of each other in a sexual way.
Comedy of Manners: Sir Andrew: "Why, I think i am not such an a** but I can keep my hand dry. But what your jest? and from " She the Man" is when viola got call out by her ex boyfriend from the beginning of the movie.The are both verbal wit.
Farce Comedy: Sir Andrew "Bless you, fair shrew. Maria " and you too..." and in "She the Men" Viola when she was in the locker room. This both example help understand the farce comedy of mistaken identity, coincidences.
Comedy of Ideas: Clown: "Let her hang me: he that is well hanged in this world needs to fear no colors." and in "She the Man" Viola was insulted by her mother when her mother talk about how tom boy she is. This both example help understand comedy of ideas by giving the insult of both play.
