Bergsonian Criteria: Why Does Lysistrata Make Us Laugh?
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Laughter, according to Bergson, is an ever-changing entity – such a strange metamorphosis that it requires "something more flexible than an abstract definition." The extent to which laughter is an inextricable component in potentially every aspect of life is both grand and far-reaching; indeed, Bergson's comment "in laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate and consequently to correct our neighbour" speaks to mankind's ability to shadow its otherwise obvious intent with the mask of subtlety. Such is precisely the case with Aristophanes' Lysistrata. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
