Shakespeare loved to use
them!!!
Humorous use of a word

sometimes missed by the
reader because of
Elizabethan language .

Words that tell the reader
who is being addressed:
“Ah, my mistresses, which of
you all/ Will now deny to
dance?”
![Page 35: Course on shakespeare lane 448 introduction](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052505/554dd8d1b4c905d10e8b4ee7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

An event occurs that
directly contradicts the
expectations of the

or the audience

Use of comedy within literature
that is NOT comedy to provide
“relief” from seriousness or
sadness.
In MACBETH look for moments of
comic relief that help “relieve” the
tragedy of the situation
