This book explores, across its chapters, the nature of comedy and its various forms—including single-element comedy (where the joke stands on its own) and comedy born from the depths of tragedy, along with the many gradations in between. The author invites both critics and readers to reflect on why a particular film may qualify as comedy while another, despite containing laughs and light moments, may not. It’s a thoughtful inquiry into the essence of comedic classification, encouraging a deeper understanding of what truly defines a comedic work.
